    Updating a line chart based on a changing data range

    I have a range of data with age in the first column and then 3 further columns which all show different cashflow scenarios. I want to show this on a line chart with the age on the horizontal axis and the 3 cashflow scenarios on the vertical axis. The challenge is although the data starts at, say age 65 and ends at, say age 75 I want to be able to show the chart starting and ending at ages that I determine. Ideally I would like to have a control box that has 'age start' and 'age end' and based on the ages that I put in those boxes the chart updates to reflect the data over that age period - for example I may have 'age start' as '68' and 'age end' as '73' the chart would just show the cashflow scenarios for between these ages.

    I had previously attempted to do this as a macro by using CONCATENATE to create the formula for the 'chart data range' which I then copied from the formula bar and pasted onto chart wizard. The macro did not like this. Amateur I know!

    Below picture is using a dummy data set to demonstrate what I am trying to do.

    All help would be much appreciated - please ask any questions if I haven't been clear. This is my first post!

    Good time of day!

    I see you use Excel 2013 version. You may create a "Power View Sheet", where filters, as shown below, may work appropriate for your needs. PowerView may be found in "Insert" menu.

    My Excel have another language version, so some words will be different from those you see on image.
