Downloadable workbook available inside the course.
In this lecture you will learn how to create a dynamic chart ranges - assume your raw data table is quite big and you'd like the user to specify from which category or date - and to which category & date, they'd like to view the chart data from.
Excel Offset function is one formula that you can use to create dynamic ranges, but Excel's Index formula is a great alternative to the OFFSET function AND it's not a volatile function. Once we've figured out the right INDEX formula, we will copy and paste this into name manager and use the name for our chart range. This will provide us with a dynamic chart that only shows the user the range they'd like to view.

    This is amazing, just added this technique to a massive vibration data spreadsheet which previously took one months worth of data (about 8 columns and 5000+ rows) where the graphs had set ranges for the month, and allowed it to pick and chose between the start date and end of the data set and update all of the graphs accordingly, so I can show 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 days...without manipulating the graphs every single time to reference new rows where that data ends. Love it.

    Thank you for this, many things here I had not tried before. I copied your method, and then changed to the table like you did. I then used ‘Structured Table names’ to create the references in Name Manager, which I think makes things a little easier to read. (Making the dynamic array now ‘Spills’, so it looks a bit different to the video, but works exactly as you show it)

    Thanks for the instructions. I made this a truly dynamic chart by avoiding the user selected start-end dates. My dates are in column C. Special Note: Both of the Start-End Dates MUST be in the column data set or the function: Index(Match):Index(Match), will display "#N/A" End date: H3=LOOKUP(9.99E+307,C:C) Returns the next largest value if the 9.99E+307 is NOT found. Start-End Date delta: J2=30 (or any other integer value) Start Date: H2=LOOKUP((H3-J2),C:C)
