Let's say a DataSheet has the following data that is subject to change, including date headers. The number of columns is always the same. (Top left cell is A1.)
| Name | Dec 1 | Dec 2 | Dec 3 | Dec 4 | Dec 5 | ... | Dec 23 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas | 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3 | ... | 2 |
| Kane | 6 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | ... | 7 |
| Ripley | 5 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 7 | ... | 6 |
In SummarySheet there is a single column of the same names, and they are separated by multiple rows to allow space for charts for each individual name.
Each chart's data range contains the headers and a specific row. Here is the range for Ripley:=DataSheet!$A$1:$X$1,DataSheet!$B$4:$X$4
Is there a formula that can use the names in the SummarySheet!A:A column to obtain the corresponding data from DataSheet? Perhaps a lookup, filter, or offset? I have not been able to get anything to work yet.
(I expect the charts to have formulas that differ only in their references to SummarySheet!A cells. Then I would not need to touch the charts ever again.)
(The names and data will be renewed every time I remake (copy and repopulate) the workbook. I would rather not have to manually change the charts' data ranges for hundreds of names multiple times per year.)
