1.298 FAQ-1191 How to get graph auto updated when adding or deleting columns?

Last Update: 10/24/2024

If you plot the whole worksheet data (by clicking on the top-left corner cell or highlighting all columns), you can set the following to get graph auto updated when adding, inserting or deleting columns in the source worksheet:

1. With the graph window active, select menu Window: Script Window.
2. In the Script Window, enter following script and press Enter key to run:

   layer.groupn.allCols = 1

   where n is the nth plot group in the active graph layer.

Some limitations you should know...

• This method requires the plot group comprised of one single X column and all Y columns to the right of that X column. Other cases like XYXY... structure, are not supported.
• If you delete many Y columns so there is only one Y column left, the plot is ungrouped automatically. When you add new columns later, the graph will auto update but the group settings (color list, shape increment, etc.) are lost.
