Morning All, hopefully someone will be able to give me the final piece of my puzzle!

I have created a chart using a named range and different data is selected using a drop down list. This very nicely shows monthly activity for the last year.

However it occurred to me that my user might want to see just the last 3 months, or the last 6 months of activity. So I have amended the data source and everything works fine EXCEPT that the chart still plots the full 12 months on the x axis - so I have a chart with 12 months bit where only 3 show activity. What I would like to do if possible is, when i choose 3 months data (say Apr - Jun, i need the x axis to show Apr - Jun and not Apr - Mar, or if i choose 6 months to display (Apr - Sep) the x axis shows Apr - Sep not Apr - Mar.........and so on.

To keep it simple i want to keep the data at 12 months or 9 months or 6 months or 3 months but with the x axis changing accordigly.

Any help gratefully recieved - thanks !

Simon
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Let's say it's an XY plot , your X axis is the time axis and you have 12 months of data. If you want to plot a narrower date range, you do it by setting the .MinimumScale and .MaximumScale properties of the X axis (category axis).

Thanks for the suggestion, I eventually foumd a way of doing it via using OFFSET and MATCH
