Default How do I pass series data x-value range to a chart from a cell?

I have a series on a line chart (x-values "=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10"). I also have
two worksheet cells (B1 & B2) that contain the start and end date for the
x-axis of the chart. I want to be able to link the chart series data to the
start and end date values so that the chart automatically adjusts when I
change the dates in the worksheet cells. I can create a string or address for
the x-values but how do I do not know how to pass this to the chart series??

I know I can do this using a macro, but I want to do it without macros so
that friends who use MicrosoftCharts (the cheap, no macro version of Excel)
can still use the charts.

See
Dynamic Charts
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/ne...rts/index.html
particularly, example 3.

Since I don't know anything about MicrosoftCharts I cannot say if named
formulas will work there.
