Automatic data selection

Please Register to Remove these Ads

I have set up a spread sheet for chemical analysis. We are adding information to the columns daily. Is there a way to have only the last 10 entries in the column graphed (with out reselecting the data)?

Re: Automatic data selection

Hi,

You can create a named range.

For example, if your data in in column A, starting in A1,

press CTRL and F3 to create a named range, for example "data" with this formula

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,COUNT(Sheet1!$A:$A)-1,0,-10,1)

and use that named range in the graph data box (where it asks for the range of values)

=Sheet1!data
