Jon,

Should the last parameter in the ‘PT Names’!PTValues2 & ‘PT Names’!PTValues3 defined name OFFSET formulas be a 1?

i.e. =OFFSET(’PT Names’!PTCat2,1,0,’PT Names’!PTDefectCount,1)
& =OFFSET(’PT Names’!PTCat3,1,0,’PT Names’!PTDefectCount,1)

Peder – It’s certainly possible, and I show how in the next post.

Shouldn’t it be possible to further develop this method to handle change in number of columns by using some VBA?

This is just a suggestion, I’m not sure if it will work:
Write a class that “hooks” into the events of this chart (that is if it’s an embedded chart, if not just place the code in the code module of the chart), use the Calculate event of the chart to determine when “something changes”. Then use VBA to check if the number of columns changed and and take action if necessary..
