    Add high/low points to a line chart

    I am trying to figure out how to add high/low points to a line graph, similar to what sparklines have. The file I am using now doesn't allow me to add new columns of data, so I'm trying to figure something out that just updates dynamically using the data I already have in place.

    This page has the thing I want to do, but it requires additional columns to be added to work, which I don't want:

    Any thoughts on how this can be done? I'd appreciate any help.

    You can use dynamic named ranges for a series of hi/lo points.

    Thanks for the reply, I didn't even know that kind of thing was possible. And if I didn't have so many tabs to work with that would be my preferred option. Instead I've figured out how to add the high/low points pretty easily with VBA, which I've included in the data update routine. Here's the code if anyone is interested:

    Does your code handle multiple min or max data points?

    What's the reason for not using cells/formula ?

    It doesn't handle multiple as it is, but it seems to be handling multiples when I change this

    And the reason I don't want to use the cells formula is that I have a nice/clean setup as is, and I don't want to make my spreadsheets any more messy than they are. I don't want to do the dynamic range thing because I have a ton of tabs and I'd have to make separate named ranges for each tab, and that would also get messy. Since I already need to run some code to update each tab, I figured it would be easiest to just slip the code in at the end.

    Thanks for your feedback!
