Plotting Blood p:

Column A has dates.
Column B has pressure.

Really a simple setup.
Scatter graph is desired, with straight lines between the actual points.

Lets say I have 10 dates.

If I select these 10 to plot, no problem.
Does it all nicely.

But if I select, e.g., 15 rows to Plot, with
the last five being Blank, it won't do it.


name the ranges of x and y values and use these names for the chart.Then your chart is always
present with the current data.
Have a look:

Making this data range 'dynamic' would be best so it self-sizes and its chart auto-updates accordingly!


Excellent advice from Claus and GS, however creating a 'Dynamic Named Range' for a casual Excel user
is not a trivial task... Amongst other things it requires knowledge of the OFFSET function.
