    Macro to extend series data without specifying the name or column

    Hi all.

    I have a large data set and currently the series data only goes until A2:A350 or so. Is there a where to expand both the x and y data of that series to say A2:A900?

    A main issue I have is that there is a large number of data sets and all are very variable - therefore, is there a way to extend the data set without naming the Series name or the column - i.e A2:A900. Can I effectively add more cells to the current data set using offset?

    Thanks

    Re: Macro to extend series data without specifying the name or column

    You can give the range (a2:a1500) an name with defined name.

    excel 2007 => Formula => define names.

    then you can use the name instead of the range.

    e.g. (vlookup(a2,your_name,5,0).
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Thanks for your reply.

    However, due to the large number of series and variability between what is in the series I was hoping to be able to extend the range of the current series in a chart without specifying the actual series or column

    Would this be possible through - SeriesCollection(1)?

    Is this a range (A2:A350) which is used in a code? If so, you can make it flexible.

    Re: Macro to extend series data without specifying the name or column

    Hi, not as such.

    Say for example one of my series is B2:B400, however when updating the data set the data goes to B800. This can happen to many series and it is rather unpredictable as to which/series need to be extended.

    Is there a way to scroll through every series and extend that range?
