Jounge excel gurus...

I want my line chart to not lock down the cells in its data range (not this $C$4, but this C4). I go into the data range and take out all of the '$' but when I click 'OK' it converts it back to locked.
I want to be able to insert data in the top of my data and the chart to graph the top 12 cells. Is there a way to do this?

Excel loving Jounge lurker here...
Instead of inserting a new row at top of your data set each time, try this...
Copy entire data set excluding the header. Move down one row and paste, making the new dataset such that rows 1 and 2 are identical. Then key in the new values into row 1.
This should prevent line chart dataset from dropping down one row as a result of using the insert row function.

Insert the row and type in your data. Then click on your chart. When the Design ribbon appears at the top of the page, go to the select data and select it again.
PRO tip: F4 key toggles absolute reference. Makes it easier than deleting all the $'s.

they come back. I do not want to have to select the data to plot every time I insert more data.

Only been reading boreds for about a week now. Srs downtime at work lead to reading more than just articles on TNet. Gotta say though this bored is pretty entertaining and good for a few laughs a day.

You may regret it, but you might not. Either way you'll probably enjoy yourself a little bit.

My SolidWorks drawings takes literally about 1.5 hours to save. Thus, I have some down time. BRB, hopefully.

Sorry if the image is too large, it's about time to GTFO. I assumed you were inserting cells and doing "Shift Cells Down" and not inserting rows. If you want to insert rows, that should be fine, too. You'll just need to place the "Plot Data" somewhere where it's not problematic. I'll try to attach the actual Excel file after posting this. Never tried that before.

but it has 8 cells in between. Like for instance, the data would be C1, C9, C17... and so forth.

There are definitely many different ways to skin the same cat in Excel. My boss at my last job was the best I'd ever seen with with Excel, but I was always like, why the #### didn't you just do this in Matlab? Plus he was a first rate #######, but I digress.

It was probably a little sloppy, but I added a column of
Aug 13, 2016, 1:58 PM

intergers... 1,2,3,4..etc. Then recaptured the data in a more usable format. The data was in groups like... C1, C9, C17... and then the next group would be C2, C10, C18... etc. Anyway, I used vlookup to group the data into its individual columns and that is what I use to graph from. Then, when I want to add another set of data, I just insert above, but leave the interger column alone... that way, the plotted data will always capture the first 12 data sets.

Ahhhh... I see what you meant now.

I misunderstood in the beginning. If you've never used the index and match functions together, it is pretty useful and can also be used as an array function, if required. Index/match is way more versatile than vlookup.
Now, enough of this nerdy stuff. I'm gonna go drink some beers and bang some chicks. And I think my 4 month old needs changing.
