    Question Excel Graph, show last 7 days of week, and to keep updating data table. Please Help!



    Hey guys,

    I am sure there is a simple way to do this (I hope), but I looked all over the internet to try to get this one solution to my graphic abilities.

    I have a graph that gives me Thursday (12pm) - Thursday (12pm) - i.e. a daily graph for the entire week. Each day a certain amount of calls, appointments and sales happen and these I want to have a running log of in my data source, BUT I want the graph (which is grabbing its values from this table, to always be in the present week.

    What I want it to do is when I enter in the daily figures, I want to make the graph ALL WAYS have the last 7 days of the week.

    So you see instead of manually re-positioning the Data Series when a new Week begins, is there any way to make the Data Series "float" and always be selecting the last 7 days of the week starting Friday?

    Please let me know. This is the last thing I need to finish this.

    Regards, Phil

    Hello,

    you need to create range names with formulas that calculate and return the correct range, then use the range names as the chart source. Jon Peltier has a step by step tutorial here

    https://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts...tml#DynoLast12

    You may want to adjust the Offset formula that defines your range, so it starts at the relevant Friday and then the range should be 7 rows high.

    If you need help with that formula, please post a (small!) data sample that reflects your data structure.
