changing the source range of a chart
Hi,
I want to be able to plot data on a radar chart, however, the number of points varies from around 5 to 15. How can I use VBA code to reset the source data? The source data is in a column, and I want to use the first row to the last row (it's the last row that changes according to the amount of data I need to chart). Basically, I need to know how to adjust the source range using VBA? The size of the range would be the same for the three series I plot on the radar chart. Hope you can help? Thanks, Matt |

Thanks, Matt Don, When I try this I end up with a range which is three cells longer than required. I only need the range to be as long as the column of data (the data is continuous). Can the source range be changed using VBA? I need to change the source of three series of data for the same chart (all ranges will be the same size, just in different columns). Regards, Matt |

=offset($a$1,0,0,counta($a:$a),1)
=offset($a$1,0,0,counta($a:$a)-3,1) or play around till you get what you want. =offset($a$1,3,0,counta($a:$a),1) to check what is shown use f5gototype in the name. Adjust as needed -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "MJKelly" wrote in message ...
