Default Moving Data Range in Chart

I have a spreadsheet that I continually add data to. I have a chart
based on the data. My problem is I want the chart to only show the last
5 data points entered in the spreadsheet and continue to do so ass I
add more data.
Example Data:

LOT NUMBER DATA
1 13
2 12
3 14
4 12
5 13
6 15

As I add data I want the chart to show only the last 5 entries.
Is there a simple way to do this?

Default Moving Data Range in Chart

Peter:

This is pretty straight forward You simply need to set up dynamic range
names for your X and Y variables.

The linked tutorial shows you an example dynamic XY chart that will
automatically plot the last number of data items that you specify.

If you have any questions about this example, let me know.
