getting a range of cells from calculation
basically i have a big table with dates along the top. what im going t
do is calculate which columni want to use for the source to a chart, b doing something like: required column=date in first column-current date this will give me how many columns to go accross from the first colum to reach todays one. BUT what I then need to do is get the range o cells underneath that column from row 4 down to the last non blan cell. I need this to all be automated i.e. somehow get the chart to be base on the result of this calculation. there will be two calculatoins on for planned and one for actual and these will be 2 bars on the chart. i could put the resulting range for the planned and the actual into tw cells but i cant base the graph on whatever range is contained withi those two cells can i? if i can then this would be the easiest way. thank -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

=Offset($A$4,0,$A$1-Date,counta(Offset($A$4,0,$A$1-Date,10000)),1)
Assumes filled cells in a column are contiguous (no blanks until the last) and no column will have more than 10000 entries. if you want to put the range in cells assume the range is in C2 =Indirect(C2) -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "neowok " wrote in message ... basically i have a big table with dates along the top. what im going to do is calculate which columni want to use for the source to a chart, by doing something like: required column=date in first column-current date this will give me how many columns to go accross from the first column to reach todays one.
