Default Excel's XY Plotting Question?

Hi everyone,

Say I have a table of x-y 5 rows. I plot them using xy option.

Now, say the # of the rows vary so sometimes I have 5 rows, another I
have 4 rows and so on. When I do the plotting for 5 rows, I get
straight line. Next, say now I have 4 rows, I have to go to each axis
and make a change to the cell number so the graph is right! If I have
3 rows, I have to re-do the cell # adjustment again!! If I don't do
so, the graph would be WRONG since it was designed for 5 points, now
for 4, and so on!

How can I automate that? I hope I did explain it clearly. If not,
please ask?

Thanks,
John

I got your zipped file, saved it, but I tried to open it told me it is
either corrupted or ?

Any other way?

Make a dynamic chart. The first link is a specific example that should help,
the second is an index to a bunch of examples:
