Dynamic Rolling Chart

Hello to all,

I have a conundrum. I have a work book with multiple sheets. I am trying to make a chart that is a continuous rolling chart of the last 365 days of sales. The sheet that has the data is called DAILY VALUES, the sheet where I would like the chart is called 100LL Monthly Sales Comparison.

I have the following names defined:

ChtData100LL =offset('DAILY VALUES'!$H$1, COUNT('DAILY VALUES'!$H$H, 0,-3661) to select the quantity sold on any given day.
ChtLabels100LL =offset(ChtData100LL,0,-7) to define my date column.

The DAILY VALUES sheet has an entry for every day since 2009. When I selected my data for the chart I had a plot for the year of 5/11/14 (Auto) to 5/13/15 (Auto).

How can I change the formula/data name to get a range that is one year back from the current date?

Thank you for your kind help.
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
If I understand you correctly, then this might help;

=EDATE(TODAY(),-12)

That will give you today's date minus 12 months

Or you could use;

=TODAY()-365

But some years are 366...

Chrisdontm,

I understand the syntax, but where in the ChtData100LL would i place it, and exactly how would the syntax be?

Also I just noticed a spelling error -- the -3661 should be -366.

It is a little difficult visualizing your set up, but, you could use another tab to extract the data for the year dynamically using the EDATE formula.
Then have your chart look at this new tab for the data.


I don't know if you mean to, but the OFFSET formula you are using is incomplete.
Inside the OFFSET, The COUNT formula doesn't seem to have a closing parenthesis, for the ChtData100LL that is...

I hope I am making sense, it would be easier if I could see the workbook in action...

Trying to describe the workbook and sheets would be very tedious. could you email me at jcarney@sspmn.org? I can shoot you the file for you to look at. Also -- the parenthesis are correct in the workbook, I have no idea why they didn't copy/paste correctly.
