Is there a way how the charts in a dashboard can be updated automatically as one add new rows to a database?

Thank you.

  • Hi yes all the charts update dynamically from the data they are charting so if you are counting rows in a sheet with your graph then when you add more rows they will update (you have to do a manual refresh on the dashboard or set it to auto-refresh every few minutes).

    I don't think that answers the question.

    If I have a column with numbers

    23

    45

    27

    111

    154

    and add a new row,

    76

    the chart was setup for 5 rows and now should be 6.

    This might be possible with Reports, but with the recent delays in Reporting, I can not test to be sure.

    It (my interpretation of the OP's question) is possible with Reports.

    Thanks for asking, this led me to a solution I had missed before.

  • Hi, the bit I missed was using CountIFs to capture all row data then chart from that. That way all row data gets used by the Charts.
