Hello,

I'm creating a horizontal bar chart. The horizontal axis is a date, and I
want the minimum of the axis to be todays date TODAY() , and the maximum to
be 30 days ahead.

I know how to do this manually, by enterinng the dates via the 'scale'
minimum & maximum tabs, but can it be done automatically ?


I have Excel 2000

Thanks

Why not use a defined name for your chart and for your source use
=myworkbook.xls!definedname
=OFFSET(Sheet13!$A$1,MATCH(TODAY(),Sheet13!$A:$A), 0,MATCH(TODAY(),Sheet13!$A:$A)+30,4)

Unfortunately, XL doesn't support dynamic axis parameters.

You could use code to do the needful. For a readymade add-in, see
