    Creating a dynamic chart with Offset function where data grows across columns

    I am trying to take data from one sheet laid out across columns that grow as the monthly data is updated and create a chart that dynamically updates. i have tried to use the offset function to create a named range and then use that named range in the data series of the chart. The offset function seems to be correct (tested using F9), but when i go to the chart and use the named range in the series values box i get an error stating the formula contains one or more invalid references. any thoughts?

    There are *MANY* web references to dynamic charts.

    Here's a start: Dynamic & Interactive Charts

    Reset the chart series to the normal range reference, then re-open dialog to edit the data source.
    Select the series to edit - and highlight just the range reference (exclude sheet name from selection) and type the name of the named range.

    That should correct the problem.
