When I suggested Dynamic Named Ranges I had in mind the usual way to adjust
the amount of data that will be displayed in a given series, eg to cater for
new data added in new rows or to 'zoom' into a portion of the data. There
must be hundreds of threads in the ng's about how to create such a Name, but
providing you can use the Offset function that's basically all you need to
remember, oh and include the name in a series formula like this -
"myFile.xls!namedRange" to replace the cell reference.
However, for your needs of adding new series and data (& removing?), Names
are not going to help in the same way. If you've already got the logic of
how to programmatically add (& Delete) series, and perhaps change the
plotorder, you are probably just as well to stick with what you've got.
Alternatively and if it fits overall, maybe you can plot all columns but
data in the "don't plot" series would be Nulls. You'd need helper columns
with formula something like this
=IF(cell_plot_this_series=TRUE,data_cell,NA())
and plot the formula cells rather than the original data cells.
