    Dynamic control chart

    I need to prepare a control (line) chart with mean, upper & lower control limits and each time the value is entered the chart should be automaticaly updated.

    I prefer mean & control limits to be added as XY chart.

    Re: Dynamic control chart

    Hi aka1,

    This can be achieved using defined names and some stats functions like Average, STDEV.. would suggest you to upload a sample workbook. Thanks.

    Re: Dynamic control chart

    How defined names are used to handle the data size? Could you pls. explain? I've to prepare many similar charts with this feature.

    Is it possible you to explain how XY scatter charts can be used to draw the CLs? I saw an example somewhere, but it not clear to me.

    Regards

    Re: Dynamic control chart

    Hi aka1,

    For defined names, press Ctrl + F3.. you will see the name manager, click on the names and you'll see the formula (logics) used there .. try understanding them as simple offset function is used there

    For xy scatter charts, try changing the chart type to it.. thanks.

    Dear DILIPandey,
    I studied the furmula & did some home work. It was working well. But when I apply it for real data, the chart was not dynamic. I've attached the Excel sheet. Could you please look into it & let me know where is the problem.

    Re: Dynamic control chart

    Hi,

    It's working for me also. Onlything, it takes sometime. I suppose it's due to my file saved in a server. I was expecting an instant update.

    Thank you.
