Update a chart immediately after inputting data into data source
Is there anyway to have Excel automatically update an existing chart after putting new / changed data into the source? Or do I have to keep going through the process of creating a new chart everyday I change / add data. MELMEL, What have you checked in your set up so far and is the chart embedded or on a sep. sheet? Is it raw or calculated data that you are trying to update? Make sure that you data range includes the cells that you are updating. It should automatically update.

How do I change the order of how excel builds a chart?
I am trying to build a bar chart and when I select the data source the chart works, but the information is plotted in reverse order. I am using Excel 2002 SP3. The help files indicate that I can reverse the order, but I cannot select any axis. What happens when you try to select the axis? A work around would be to post the data reversed. and plot the data that way, but not being able to select the axis sounds worrisome.

Plotting data in Excel #2
Is it possible to generate a cell range mathmatically using formulas and "Concatenate" in one reference cell, and then use the contents of the cell to define the data range for an X-Y plot?

Contacts main title bar grayed out?

Plot Area Resizes on Print
Hi All, Using Excel 2000 / Windows 2000 I have a very strange problem with the plot area of a chart. Whenever I try to print or print preview the chart, the plot area squashes up into a very small area. This cannot be resized and the only way to get the chart back is to close the file without saving and re-opening. There are a number of other charts that are exactly the same but pointing to different data. These other charts do not have this problem. I have solved the problem by creating a user-defined chart and applying that. This seems to stop this happening. However, I do not know why the...
