I can't seem to encode the Y-Values of a chart to have a variable
range. (in Excel 2000)
I have tried things like:
="INDIRECT( CONCATENATE( "Sheet1!$A$1:$A$", TEXT($B$1,"0") ) )"
where $B$1 = 20.
I had hoped this would produce (and evaluate) the formula "Sheet1$A
$1:$A$20".
Instead, I receive "That function is not valid".
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
The reason I ask is:
I have a data series which keeps track of monthly values and estimates
the future months' values. This is done using a formula in future
month's cells to calculate the estimate. As each month passes I
replace the formula with an actual value.
I have produced a chart which has one series (A1:A20) that shows all
the historical values.
I have another series (A1:A99) on the same chart which shows all the
values, including estimated ones.
These lines naturally overlap.
The A1:A20 range is a heavy bold line which sits atop the thin A1:A99
line.
The problem is that each month I have to go into the Chart Data Source
dialog and update the Y Values of my first series (A1:A20) to include
the latest month (e.g. to A1:A21)
I would either like to have these Y Values 'soft coded', or rethink
the way I draw this chart.
