Good afternoon,

Here I am again with another question. This morning I discovered that my chart wasn't automatically updating the way I wanted. So I searched and searched and came across this video which helped me out alot. Now my chart almost does everything I want, except change the range of the horizontal labels.

As you can see the range for the axis is static. The bar is plotted in the chart, except for the label.

I've made several "names" which work perfectly. But whatever I do, I can't seem to make the RFC_nummer (number) and RFC_omschrijving (description) appear. It just shows the "name"

Your help is appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
One thing I forgot to mention is that the table at the beginning of the spreadsheet gets it's data from another excel file via a data connection that refreshes the data at startup. I found this video, but this doesn't work for me either, because the whole layout of my chart gets messed up.

ATM I "solved" my problem by giving the "RFC_nummer + RFC_omschrijving" range a ridiculously large static range. It works, but it's not that elegant. The chances of having 199 active RFCs is highly unlikely, and may never happen. Finding a solution that uses a dynamic range would be really great, also to extend my Excel knowledge :)
