Hello,

I am working on a template for charting data. I want to be able to use a dynamic named ranges for series data so the chart is dynamic and I don't need to manually update the series data everytime. Sample number is x axis and Average Weights is the y axis. I made the dynamic range names based on the batch number. It is dynamic and if i change the batch number in one of the columns the appropriate datapoints change on the dynamic chart but it is plotting all empty data even though I have hidden/empty cells set to gaps.

Is it something wrong with my named ranges or with the chart data? (included the name manager for reference)

the end goal is to then have a template so the data entry can be done by someone without excel knowledge but they will still get the chart that they need.

Thank you in advance for your help!
