Create charts that update automatically from data in rows
Hey Guys,
I am trying to create charts that are updated automatically using the proceedure described in article 183446. I need to create charts from data in rows rather than columns. I changed the range to A1:AA1, but I don't get the expected result.. Could someone please describe the correct methode for me? Thanks -- Brent |

Create charts that update automatically from data in rows
Hi,
Details of the OFFSET formula direct from the help file. Syntax: OFFSET(reference,rows,cols,height,width) Reference - is the reference from which you want to base the offset. Reference must refer to a cell or range of adjacent cells; otherwise, OFFSET returns the #VALUE! error value. Rows - is the number of rows, up or down, that you want the upper-left cell to refer to. Using 5 as the rows argument specifies that the upper-left cell in the reference is five rows below reference. Rows can be positive (which means below the starting reference) or negative (which means above the starting reference). Cols - is the number of columns, to the left or right, that you want the upper-left cell of the result to refer to. Using 5 as the cols argument specifies that the upper-left cell in the reference is five columns to the right of reference. Cols can be positive (which means to the right of the starting reference) or negative (which means to the left of the starting reference). Height - is the height, in number of rows, that you want the returned reference to be. Height must be a positive number. Width - is the width, in number of columns, that you want the returned reference to be. Width must be a positive number. So if the example for columns uses this =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A$1:$A$100),1) you will need to change it to =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,0,COUNTA($A$1:$AA$1)) swapping the row height argument to the column Width. Here are some other resources on dynamic named ranges, although I can not recall if they address the row lay out directly. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Dynamics.html http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/ne...rts/index.html http://www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme/E...ps/Dynamic.htm Cheers Andy Brent wrote: Hey Guys, I am trying to create charts that are updated automatically using the proceedure described in article 183446.

Andy,
Thanks for the information. However I think you made a mistake. How about =OFFSET($A$1,0,0,1,COUNTA($A$1:$AA$1))? This seems to work.

Yes good catch. I should have set the height to 1 not zero.
