Dynamic Range Names For a Graph
Hello Everyone. I am having a lot of touble making a graph in excel and was hoping someone could please help me. I have a table of data which is 90 rows long. The data starts on row 8. Each day this table is updated (via a macro) and the new data goes on row 8, and the remaining data is shifted down a row.. ie.. the data on row 8 moves to row 9 etc.. etc.. I am trying to graph the first 15 rows of this table. Lets say j8:J23 and n8:n23 (ie I am graphing the 15 most recent days of data) each time a row is inserted, the row references in the source data for the graph keep changing ie $j$8 would become $j$9.. Could anyone please tell me how to stop the row reference from changing each time a new line is inserted in my table. I have looked at some examples of a Dynamic Range Name but for the life of me I cant get it to work arggg!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dynamic Range Names For a Graph
Hi,
Stick with the dynamic charting approach. Create two named ranges for the category labels and data ChtLabel: =OFFSET(INDIRECT("Sheet1!$J$8"),0,0,15,1) ChtData: =OFFSET(ChtLabel,0,4) Then the series formula for your chart would be something like, =SERIES(,Book2!ChtLabel,Book2!ChtData,1) Cheers Andy whiZZfiZZ wrote: Hello Everyone.
