Jon,
Please ignore.
I was having problems creating the name, hence resorted to the SetSourceData. Needless to say was trying to over complicate.

The following worked fine for me
INDEX(Static!$D:$D,5,1):INDEX(Static!$D:$D,cRows,1)

Deployed the solution & was very much appreciated too.
Thanks !

Abhi -

SetSourceData should not be changing any formatting. What else is in your code?

Hi Jon,
Am quite new to charts (and overwhelmed) hence a simple question.
I have a nicely formatted charts with 6 different series; all against date on the Xaxis.
Using setSourceData works, however clears off all existing series/formats/headers etc.

How can I just target changing the ranges ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Jon for your reply,

I added “On Error Resume Next”, so it can ignore the error temporarily, and your code can carry on even after clearing the contents of the Worksheet.

But if I Move the chart in the Worksheet to a single Chartsheet, how to let the data range auto refer to the dynamic range in the previous worksheet.

Thanks.

Sal -

This used to be possible in Excel 2003 and earlier. You probably know this, and you probably were disappointed when Microsoft removed this capability.

I’m working on a way to accomplish this, but it’s not yet fully developed. I may write about it sometime in the future.

Hi Jon,

I understand the code you gave for updating a chart from a dynamic source. Is there a way to move a point on a chart and have it reflect that change in the supporting data table?
