    Using a complex formula for both X and Y in a graph

    Hello, I have tried searching the forum and I haven't seen this topic yet, so I hope it is not a duplicate.

    I have a data field that is about 1000 points, and the curve is rather complex across the entirety of the graph. I want to be able to interrogate it graphically by simply changing the values in 2 cells, where one cell defines the upper limit of graph and the other describes the lower limit. For example, lets say that the X axis ranges from 0 to 1, and I want to investigate 0.74 through 0.86, I want to put 0.74 in one cell and 0.86 in the other.
    I have tried using the formula:

    X=(INDEX(A1:A1000,$C$1):INDEX(A1:A1000,$C$2))
    Y=(INDEX(B1:B1000,$C$1):INDEX(B1:B1000,$C$2))

    where my x values are in A1:A1000, the y values are in B1:1000, and the lower search bound is C1, and the upper search bound is C2.

    I feel like I'm close on this, but it isn't working! Please help!

    Thanks!

    Have you tried setting up those two ranges (with those formulas) as defined names and then use the defined names to graph?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    No. I'm not sure how I would define a name for the interrogation range. Could you provide an example? Would I have to make individual names for each range I wanted to interrogate?
