Chart based on Named Range which changes size

**LynnF** · 06-09-2017, 10:08 AM

I have two questions regarding this please

I want to create a chart based on a named range which changes size depending on 2 cell values. I have created the named range which varies in size using =OFFSET(Results!$B$1,0,0,Results!$A$2,Results!$A$3). The named range is either B1:C3 or B1:I3. I am trying to create a chart but the Chart Data Range keeps changing from the named range to the actual cell range if that makes sense. I have to go back in and change it to the named range each time.

Once I have this cracked then I need to change the chart type depending on the named range i.e. if it is B1:C3 then Column Chart, if it is B1:I3 then Pie chart.

Any suggestions please?

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Thanks, See attached sample spread sheet. When Overall is selected it should appear as it is in the spread sheet. When NCB is selected it should appear like the attached image. The correct Chart Data Range is =Results!ResultsRange
