    Question could someone please help me with the offset function/dynamic range (excel 2010)

    Howdy!

    I'm attaching an example of what I am trying to do. Column A is the current quarter, and then there are a number of different columns (10 in the example, ie finance, accounting, etc) - each column is further broken down into two columns (equity/investment and liability). As new data is added for each quarter, I need a formula that will allow me to create graphs on the LAST (ie most recent) entry. I imagine this as being a cell for each column that always displays the most recent entry, which I can then reference to create a variety of different graphs. I will of course need plenty of room to enter new data, so the formulas can't restrict this for it to be helpful

    Thanks so much in advance for any help yall are able to provide!

    In B14, then copied across:

    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(2, 1/(B$3:B$13>0), B$3:B$13), 0)

    Have a look at the attached, I think it works but it seems a bit of a bodge. I used 3 names, one to define the chart area (1 row, 2 columns,) and then one name for each chart series.

    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F$2,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$3:$A$13),0,1,2) - for the chart area
    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$F$2,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$3:$A$13),0,1,1) - for the first Equity/Investment series
    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$G$2,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$3:$A$13),0,1,1) - for the Liability series



    ETA: JBeaucaire's answer is a lot simpler though
