»» Automatically Updating an Excel Chart with Live DataWhen using Excel to display data in real-time, you may find it useful to also automaticallyupdate a chart in Excel.Suppose you wanted to plot data in column A against thedata in column B. You could simply insert a chart withthe range =$A:$BAs the data arrives, the chartwill automatically update.

However, if the rows of dataexceed the original size of the worksheet, the chartwill stop.You can get round this by using Excel's CountA andOffset functions. CountA gives you the number of non-blank cells in a column.

With Windmill data thisequates to the number of rows of data (and headings).Offset returns a cell reference according to yoursettings. Using CountA as the height of the columngives a reference to the bottom row. This referencewill automatically update when new data arrives.

For full detailFor example, this is the syntax of Offset: OFFSET(reference, rows, cols, height, width)which becomes: OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))(assuming your data is in a worksheet called 'Sheet1').To implement this, using our previous example ofplotting column A against column B. Create 2 named ranges called ColA and ColB (forexample).For Column A, from the Insert menu choose Name thenDefine. In the names box type ColA andin the Refers to box type=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))Press AddFor Column B, in the names box type ColB and in theRefers to box type =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B:$B))Press Add and close the dialogue box. Insert a chart plotting Column A against Column B. We now need to edit the chart so it automaticallyupdates.

Select the chart, right-click theplotted data series and select Source Data. Replacethe current X Values with=Sheet1!ColAReplace the Y values with =Sheet1!ColB(In the in the formula bar this will look like:=SERIES(,Sheet1!ColA,Sheet1!ColB,1). Click off the chart and start importing data intoExcel. The chart will continually update no matter howmany rows of data you collect.For details of getting live data from Windmill into, seeFor more on seeOur Monitor newsletter (ISSN 1472-0221) features a series of Excel Corners, giving hints and tips on using Excel.To subscribe to Monitor fill in your e-mail below.Email:.Format:First Name:Last Name:Country:.Enter the security code shown:Any Questions?Question:Name:Organisation:Email.

Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.Here’s a ‘no fuss, no muss’ way to grab the latest exchange rates and use them in Excel. No need to lookup a rate and type it in, let Excel do all that work for you.You might expect Excel to do this out of the box. After all, Microsoft has been banging on about Internet integration for years and their main rival, Google, has an exchange rate function in their spreadsheets (see GoogleFinance ). Real Time Excelincludes working spreadsheets for this tip and many other examples of getting live information into Excel.There are many places on the web which supply exchange rate information in a computer readable format. Excel can grab that data and put it into cells for the worksheet. For this article, we set some limitations:.

No VBA code or addons. This removes security concerns or hassles. Our example uses a simple.xlsx worksheet. Simple system that’s easy to explore and understand. Free access to the exchange rate information.

Xrates in XML format (which Excel understands).Microsoft once provided a connection to their MSN data source but that’s been dropped.For our examples, we’ll use data from FloatRates.com because their XML data format is simple and uncomplicated compared to others. The web link is simple, needs no changing parameters and no registration.For the latest US Dollar exchange rates go to this is an XML data feed which looks like a web page via a XML style sheet. Next, tell Excel where to put the data, most likely a New worksheet.Before clicking OK, check out the Properties.Name: make sure the Query name is self-explanatoryRefresh Control: Make the refresh rate suitable to the data feed. In this case the data is only updated every 12 hours, so there’s no point in refreshing every hour (the default).Now there’s a worksheet with 92 current conversions from US Dollar to international currencies in your worksheet.Use Vlookup to grab the exchange rate you want for your calculation.Note: Vlookup requires the source data to be sorted on the column you’ll be using for the lookup. Do that from the Data Sort tab.You have to re-sort the list after each time the data is refreshed.

Shows how to get around that Excel limitation. Check your calculation!It’s too easy to get an exchange rate ‘turned around’.

Even experts can get the Buy and Sell rates for a currency confused. Here’s a snippet of the ‘USD dollar’ rate feed.These rates apply if you have US dollars and what you’ll get if you buy the other currency. For example, if you have USD$1 you’ll get 0.89 Euro, 77 UK pence or $1.311 Aussie dollars.The common mistake is the multiply the rate given when you want to buy (convert into) the base currency. That’s wrong and will give you very misleading answers.Reverse xrate: if you want to convert from other currencies to the base currency (US dollars in this case) divide the rate into 1.

( = 1/rate ). Do that by making a ‘parallel’ column that converts the rate.Now you can convert from and to the base currency. Just make sure you choose the correct column/rate!Double check: check your worksheet logic by doing tests against one of the many currency conversion web sites.That’s just the basics of online data import into Excel for currency conversions.
