Automatically shift chart data range
I have a spreadsheet full of charts based on monthly data. The charts
are intended to show a year's worth of information, i.e., April 2009 to March 2010. There are a series of cells in the spreadsheet with the chart that are autoupdated with new information that the charts are based on. Since there are so many of these charts to update each month, I'd like to know if there is a way to have them automatically shift their date ranges for each new month. For example, Chart A shows data from April 2009 to March 2010. Now that April is here, the chart needs to be shifted to show data from May 2009 to April 2010. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to manually update each chart? |

Also, we're running Excel 2003, so I don't have 2007 at my disposal. |

Automatically shift chart data range
Hi Sean,
There is a way to do it without PivotTables. But in order to help you I need to know one thing. With OFFSET function and Name Ranges you can solve it. I can show you but first you need to tell me about the data range you have today. Do you want the chart to start from a new column or from a new row each month?
