    Excel 2010 dynamic filename for named range in chart series

    Hello!
    This is my first post so hello everyone.

    At first, what I want to achieve:
    I need to create named ranges for charts to keep last X rows only, there is no problem with that and it works, but...

    Problem:
    To use named range as a chart series I need to specify filename followed by the range name, e.g. 'Book1'!range1, the problem is that this is a weekly report and the name contains week number - it changes every week, it also contains version number which can change multiple times a day. The report contains many charts * many series so it is really hard to manually change the file name for each series.

    Question:
    How to use dynamic filename to specify named range in chart series? It would be best if this could be done without using VBA - it has to be macro-free file.

    Use your range1 as name for the graph, but define it not related directly to raw data but to your parametres: week no, ver no. etc.

    PS. zawsze lepiej dodać załącznik z przykładowymi danymi - see http://www.excelforum.com/forum-rule...rum-rules.html under numbered part.
    Best Regards,

    Kaper

    Hello Kaper,
    I don't really understand your solution. Could you please explain it further?

    Regarding this annotation, I think that there is no need to attach any data to the thread as the problem is not related to data itself.

    Well, could be just dummy data, but anyway the method you want to apply relates to data.
    Moreover, you don't disclose how range1 is defined now (again - attachement would do, but if you prefer - post a formula used for this named range), while it can be quite important for proper method to make it "more dynamic".
