I am trying to use Dynamic Named Range to create a charts only for the period that there is data. I've created 2 variables with the index():index() formulas and when I check on the Name Manager, the interval checks out only sometimes.
 
I tried changing the chart sheet, tried changing the variable name, searched for errors. Some strange facts I have identified:

- When I input the named range in the chart while the cell B16 (cell that has the formula I saved in the named range) is selected, the chart accepts the input. Once I change the A4 value, I get a reference error.

- If I try to input values in the chart without selecting the B16 cell, I get a reference error.

It has been a while since I've been looking for a solution. Can someone help me out?

I attached a simplified version of the workbook.

Thnx

Hi,

The cell references in the dynamic named range formulas are not absoulte. Charts require absolute ranges in the dynamic named range formulas. Read more about releative dynamic named ranges here to understand why this is an issue.
