    Chart not picking up named range

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a dynamic chart sourcing all of the data from a named range. I've named the range using the OFFSET method and, having tested it, it dynamically updates when the data is altered. I have tried to use this as the source for my chart (i.e. chart data range = 'sheet1'!NamedRange) but every time the data changes the chart looses the named range and does not update. Is there something further I should be doing in order for the chart to update?

    TIA,

    Alan.

    Re: Chart not picking up named range

    There are bit of quirks, using dynamic named ranges in a chart.

    IIR, there are cases when you needed Workbook name reference as well when used in data series. But it's been a while since I used named range to build charts.

    Try following tutorial in links. And see if that works for you.
