The table below feeds a 3d Column Chart in Excel 2007.
It needs to be dynamic, so when figures for 4/6/2010, 4/7/2010, etc are
added the chart updates appropriately.

The “4/1/2010” is in cell c1.

There is a dynamic range in use, where c1.cc6 is named “dynRngSalesProg” …
=OFFSET(SalesProgress!$C$1,0,0,6,COUNTA(SalesProgress!dynRngSalesProg)

… But the chart [series] turns that into a static range.

On 4/3/2010 the chart's Select Data showed the following:
='SalesProgress'!$A$1:$A$6,'SalesProgress'!$C$1:$E$6

Even though what was driving the chart originally was:
='SalesProgress'!$A$1:$A$6,OFFSET(SalesProgress!$C$1,0,0,5,COUNTA(SalesProgress!$C$1:$e$1).

I had to manually adjust the chart in Select Data for the series from $e$6
to $f$6.

Is there anything that can be done with this situation?
