Hi,

I am trying to use dynamic ranges in an Excel 2007 chart. I can define the ranges in the worksheet - i.e.:
By_Plant - =OFFSET(Analysis!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(Analysis!$A:$A)-1,)

This works fine, but I can't seem to incorporate either the range name or the offset formula in my chart. If I use the formula, I get the error message 'That function is not valid', if I use the range name, I ge tthe message 'The formula you typed contains an error'

Can anyone help. I used to use this functionality often in Excel (2003) and never had any problems with it, but I have never been able to get it to work in 2007.

Regards to all.

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Thanks for that. In the end, I got it to work - here is what I entered in the chart range:

='Engineering Milestones Dashboard 1.xlsm'!PCTotal_Achieved

'PCTotal_Achieved' being the dynamic range. I don't know why this has been such a problem as I know it used to work on Excel 2003. At least I know it works now.

Regards.
