Dynamic chart (using dynamic range?)

[jcooooper]

Hi all,

In the below data set, I have four data series (Region 1, Region 2, Sector 1, Sector 2) with varying starting dates. The date range will grow over time as a new column is added each month.

What i'm trying to do is build a function where I can select any of these data series, with say a radio button or similar, and a dynamic chart is populated. using the relevant start date, and end date.

I imagine the first step is creating a dynamic range for each of the 4, which I've struggled with. I've tried using the OFFSET, MATCH then COUNT backwards from the current weight column when creating the width, but couldn't figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've added a picture and also a table below.

no answer since yesterday so I'll jump in even though Excel is not my forte'. Maybe the only thing I can do is show what worked for me for a stacked chart long ago when the range was vertical:
=OFFSET(DATA!$B$6,0,0,COUNTA(DATA!$B:$B),1) which was a range at the scope of worksheet

I had other ranges at the workbook level as well. All I can recall about that is that there is a difference, so maybe that's part of why you say 'didn't work' (which doesn't give away too much info). Here's one that also seems to be vertical:
=OFFSET(TradeCounts!$B$3:$J$3,0,0,COUNTA(TradeCounts!$J:$J))

This is where I got most of my code from with respect to selecting ranges in code (plus the rest of what I needed for Automation, which is how I got the data from Access into the sheets):

EXCEL Import And Export

Maybe with the Offset syntax above you can figure out how to make the range offset horizontally. It's probably very obvious to some, but I'd have to study these functions/formulae again. Access is my thing - not so much Excel.
HTH.
