Want previous years data to drop off as I enter current year data

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a sheet dedicated to my data. Additionally,
I have a chart pulling data from this sheet. I have data starting with
August 07. When I enter in data for August 08, I want the chart to reflect
only 12 months of data and thus, I want the August 07 data to fall off so it
can include the August 08 data and so on. I have searched for rolling over
data/chart and don't see anything. I must not be calling it the correct
thing. Anyway, I hope this makes sense. Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

In EXCEL 2007 type:-

dynamic range

- into the F1 Serch facility.

In the topics that are shown there is an item called:-

Update the data in an existing chart

Click on the above.

There is a topic called:-

Dynamically change the underlying data source of an existing chart

Click on this as it appears to be what you want.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

I am working in Excel 2003. I still searched for dynamic range but it's not
making sense. Any explanation would be appreciated.
