    Automatic data selection

    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)?

    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
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
