    Using contents of cell as source data for chart

    Is there a way to use the contents of a cell as the "Values" and "Axis Labels" under Source Data in a chart?

    I found posts on using the OFFSET command in conjunction with named ranges to display dynamic charts, but I was looking to use a slightly different approach.

    I have a template in which I already have formulas set up that display the ranges of what I want to use as the values and labels for my chart. I was hoping there was a way to just set those equal to the contents of those cells.

    If I am not explaining this well...
    The contents of cell E66- a3:a33
    The contents of cell E67- b3:b33
    E66 would be the labels
    E67 would be the values

    you would need to use the INDIRECT formula and charts do not like formula which include INDIRECT.

    You could use a name to get the values out of the range using Indirect(), as Andy said, but if I understand correctly you can't (or don't want to) use names?
