    Chart that automatically updates with new data and new date range

    I have historical data that I add every day to it. Every week I have to create a line chart that plots the data for the past three month - so this means that every week the chart has to be updated by dropping the oldest week and adding the last week. For example if I have data from 1/1/2013 through today (keep in mind I am adding every day the daily sales figure so its date and sales) and lets say on Monday 8/5/2013 the chart will include data 5/2/2013 - 8/5/2013, but the coming Monday 8/12/13 the chart has to include 5/12/2013-8/12/2013. So how can I set this to be automatic instead of me adjusting the axis every week?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Needhelp13,

    You can do this with the offset function with your number of rows set to 30 in the offset function.

    Here is a step-by-step tutorial and video demonstration.

    Let me know if it helps.
