Hello,

Using Excel from, I think, 2007, and Windows 10.

Haven't used in a while, and I am probably forgetting things, but
this is really confusing me.

If anyone can help me out, would be most appreciative.

Plotting Blood p:

Column A has dates.
Column B has pressure.

Really a simple setup.
Scatter graph is desired, with straight lines between the actual points.

Lets say I have 10 dates.

If I select these 10 to plot, no problem.
Does it all nicely.

But if I select, e.g., 15 rows to Plot, with
the last five being Blank, it won't do it.

In the "Select Data", the dates only show for the first case, where
there is actual data in the cells.

What am I missing (as usual), or doing wrong ?

I would really like to have the resultant graph set up
to encompass a wide range of dates, even though we may have no data
filled in (yet) for many of them.

Happy Holidays, and thanks,
Bob

name the ranges of x and y values and use these names for the chart.Then
your chart is always present with the current data.

Making this data range 'dynamic' would be best so it self-sizes and its
chart auto-updates accordingly!

Excellent advice from Claus and GS, however creating a 'Dynamic Named Range' for a casual Excel user
is not a trivial task... Amongst other things it requires knowledge of the OFFSET function.

This link provides a detailed explanation:

I was replying to Claus' offering of an example (not viewed by myself).
It would be better for the OP if Claus' example included this since,
even after reading the article you refer to (good as it is) it still
may prove a daunting challenge to 'casual' users who use headers (as I
suspect ths OP does for checkbox cols)!

Not meaning to discourage others, though, I'd likely recommend further
reading here...

in my example the range names are dynamic. I thought this would be
obvious as I wrote :

I didn't view your sample, but no surprise that you did it that way!<g

Thanks Clause,

Over many years I've received more help from your contributions than anyone else's but in this case
clicking on your link from the mail message I received it in opened your page in my browser which
was interesting but didn't really help me learn how to make my own charts dynamic, hence my quest to
find our more.

Overall I'm disappointed that Excel doesn't provide a simple 'one click' means to make any chart
series dynamic, but then I probably expect too much.

first create dynamic range names. Then use them for the chart. You have
to write the book name with it's extentions in front of the name.
E.g. for the x values in my example
BloodPressure.xlsx!x_Values

Another way to make the chart dynamic:
Format your data as table and then create the chart.
