dynamic ranges for charting

[Bill Brehm]

I saw another post with a similare title, but there was not enough info in
there to tell me if I am trying the same thing.

I want to have a column of data. Depending on the values in the column, I
will automatically calculate start and end rows for the data I want to
graph. If I paste in a new set of values, my formula to calculate the start
and end would automatically update and I would lkike the chart to
automatically update too.

I was able to create a single cell with an OFFSET() statement that
determines the position and height and width of my data to be graphed. When
I created a graph of that cell it did some crazy things, not just graphing
that singel value. So I think I'm on the right track trying to use OFFSET()
or ADDRESS() or something like that.

Thanks...

Hi,

Try these explanations of dynamic ranges in charts.

See here for details on dynamic ranges.

You need to define the OFFSET formula as a named range rather than in a
cell. Then the chart uses the named formula to plot.

Cheers

Thanks for the tips. I think i'll be able to go from here.
