Static Chart Data Range
Excel-2007, simple line chart:
I have a chart that displays several columns of data for rows 2:84. Whenever I insert a new row #2, the new data range for the chart is now 3:85. How do I keep a static data range for my chart (2:84) whenever I insert new rows into the workbook? I have tried editing $A$2:$E$84 to A2:E84 and then saving the changes ... but it is an excercise in futility, it always reverts back to $A$2:$E$84. |

Static Chart Data Range
I would recommend creating a blank row 2, and hiding it. Then, when you
insert a new row, you'll be inserting within the boundaries, instead of moving the boundaries. -- Best Regards, Luke M "Bandit292" wrote in message ...

Static Chart Data Range
See this website:
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/ne...l#PartialRange There are a few methods to customise the chart range. I believe one of the examples is what you are looking for.
