SetSourceData Function

[clearh20]

I would like to update the data range in a chart by running a macro. Currently the data range is this "=Parser!$AB$1,Parser!$AB$4:$AB$303,Parser!$AK$1:$AN$1,Parser!$AK$4:$AN$303"

I found that using the following function:"=Parser!$AB$1,OFFSET(Parser!$AB$1:Parser!$AB$1,Parser!$D$2,0,Parser!$B$2,1),Parser!$AK$1:$AN$1,OFFSET(Parser!$AK$1:Parser!$AO$1,Parser!$D$2,0,Parser!$B$2,4)"

I am able to update the data range to the one I want using a different cell as a reference. The problem with this is that the OFFSET function dissappears after entering it. It calculates the value and is done. So if I change the value in my reference cell the data range doesn't update itself.

To avoid this problem I wanted to use a macro that would allow me to click a button and it would update the data range. I would assume that I would use the SetSourceData Function but I don't know how to map the function that I currently have into VB so that it would do the same thing. Any ideas?

How about using a Dynamic range instead ? using the same OFFSET function you can create one, that will adjust to the value of D2 and B2. Then, all you would need to do is change these two values to change the chart..

I don't think I understand. The source data field in a chart does not allow indirect cell references. Can you explain in more detail what you mean by dynamic? I know what the word means but how do I write a function that will be dynamic using the OFFSET function. That function seems to be a one time only function and does not remain when used in the source data range field.
