This one has a few of us stumped in the office. I am developing this for a nurse who doesn't have time to do much more than enter data. I don't want her to have to make a chart every time she enters data.

I have a range of data from =Sheet1!$A$3:$K$6 that I am using in a chart. Row 3 is attribute data like Date, Pain, Tiredness, Nausea, etc. The first column is the date, which I want to use as the X-axis charted over time.

I specify the range for the chart, and that works fine. The problem is when I want to extend the range to the next row. The date (which i have as Text because she wont be adding in every day, and leaving it as date fills in each missing date) changes to just a numerical number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). This then screws up the chart.

I need to use this as a template, as the nurse has multiple patients. Basically the question is, How do I extend the range so it automatically updates the chart?
 
Sorry, should have been more specific. Here is kind of what it will look like...

Date | Pain | Tiredness | Nausea | etc...
06/11 4 6 7
07/11 3 9 9

Etc...Each time the patient fills out a form, the results get put on the spreadsheet. Each patient gets their own sheet.

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
