    Formatting Graphs and charts with data in cells

    I am putting together a workbook that is used for measurement evaluation. I have created a tab where if i input the dimension number it fills in the data on the page using vlookup.

    The problem i am having is with the graphing, I am using an XY scatter graph to display data on a vertical line. what i would like is for the vertical and horizontal axes to update based on the dimension number and size. I would think this is a macro situation but would like to avoid that if possible.

    currently i would have to change the graph every time i change the dimension this is too time consuming.

    How about some normalization of your data?

    As your charts are "graphics only" with no numbers in any form displayed, you could write in

    G25: 1
    G26: =(G21-G22)/(G20-G22)
    G27: 0
    G28: =(G23-G22)/(G20-G22)
    G29: =(G24-G22)/(G20-G22)
    G30: =(G18-G22)/(G20-G22)

    and of course, use these values for series (instead of G20, G21 ... G24 and G18)

    now you can have axsis from 0 to 1 (or may be from -0.05 to 1.05 which I used in attachment or similar -0.03/1.03 ? to have some margin below smallest and above highest) and as you change input data, the results will remain on scaled axis
