Adding series to chart for each new range row - excel

I need to create a chart which consists of multiple series that have only one pair of values.
it looks something like this:
Picture is showing six series of one coordinate.
The names of series and values are taken from cells of three different ranges (each range have only one column and all paired data are in the same row but different ranges).
Buttons are created which triggers adding/deleting rows and resizing ranges accordingly.
Is it possible to add/delete series for each new resize of ranges? Even if it means deleting existing chart every time and drawing new.
Basically it is needed to count rows of ranges and for each row to have series.
Hope that I managed to explain myself. I would be grateful for any pointers.

Making a dynamic column line graph

I am trying to create a graph where the number of columns varies. what I have done is used name manager to label each of the possible columns (1-100). I have then used these named ranges to create a graph.
Each column in the table should be identified as a series, the issue is that I do not know how to change the number of series automatically, so that when data is added to the column the chart automatically added the series in. I tried to do this by naming the range as a table, this also did not work as it included the empty columns as series on the chart.
the data I am trying to use is as follows;
When I add data to another column I want to add that series to the graph. Is there a way of doing this? because all I have been able to find are examples where the number of rows are the only thing that is dynamic.

excel Blank on the right side of graph

I was looking for a similar problems, but couldn't find an answer to this issue. I have a huge blank space on the side of my graph.
I cant change the axis setting because my graph auto updates when new data is entered. I have also cleaned the table, so there is no empty data in the table.
my graph
That means your Axis labels or Series values are derived by a formula. In order to deal with the scenario, create two dynamic named ranges and use them as series for the chart.
Assuming your axis labels are in column B, create a named range using the formula given below...
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$2,,,COUNTIF(Sheet1!$B:$B,"?*")-1)
Same way create another named range to hold the series values.
And then right click the chart --> choose Select Data --> select the series and the axis label one by one --> Edit --> And in the series values or in the axis label range, use the relevant named range using the formula given below..
Sheet1!YourNameRangeForAxisLabel
Sheet1!YourNameRangeForSeriesValues
Here Sheet1 is the sheet which the named ranges belong to.
Later this would be changed automatically and reflect the workbook reference correctly.

How to make an existing chart dynamic

I have already made charts and would like to make it dynamic so that when I add new data (highlighted yellow) the charts will update automatically.
Can someone guide me on how to do this.
Image of sample data for what I am trying to do is attached.
I would advise the use of named formulas for your series data inputs. Your named formulas can be dynamic in nature, in that they search across the row and check for the first blank row of data.
As an example, all the grapsh can have their horizontal axis labels set to the named formula 'validDates', where
validDates is put in the name manager as :
='NTesco'!$C$2:INDEX('NTesco'!$2:$2, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3), 99999)))
N.B. You could use slightly different variations for each graphs date range if there will be independent data gathering for each corresponding value range. Then you should use that row's row index in the IF logical test argument...
You could also use a formula for the first graph values, such as:
='NTesco'!$C$3:INDEX('NTesco'!$3:$3, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$3:$AZZ$3), 99999)))
The AIOWHB graph takes values from the 4th row, so would be:
='NTesco'!$C$4:INDEX('NTesco'!$4:$4, MIN(IF('NTesco'!$B$4:$AZZ$4="", COLUMN('NTesco'!$B$4:$AZZ$4), 99999)))
And so on for the other two....

Dynamic data chart in x and y axis

I'm developing raport generator with fixed data range.
My row and column number vary from 'A34' to 'V64'. Each active column have same amount of rows. Active columns are placed next to each other, from left hand side to the right.
Things I've tried:
Chart from table but it does not look good as chart is full-sized no matter of data amount.
Macro record
VBA but I'm stuck after dynamic range on X-axis
Unfortunatelly I cannot post images yet but below is example data, blue represents possible data range

Thanks and have good day
Solution is finding data range and exporting that into chart, using VBA.
Start at C34
-Go to the right till you find first empty cell
-Go to the bottom till you find first empty cell
Now you can work on x,y coordinates and create your data range.
But I'm still open to new ideas

Finding it hard to do a chart in excel

I am interested in plotting an excel graph exactly like in the image I am pasting here.
It has been obtained from tables arranged like this
The table has been arranged in excel.. However try as I may I am not able to put my data (arranged in the same manner in excel) into a similar graph/chart. Has anybody previously worked with a chart template like this? If so, please direct me to it. When i put 2 values in a single cell with the colon separating them, the charts I plot are not even eble to recognize the number before the colon as a single value and the number after the colon as a single value. Please help.
Excel charts plot sets of single numbers. 123;456 is not a single number.
What do the members of each pair signify?
Here's one way to approach your problem:
Keep the range containing the ;-separated values. This range will be for display.
Create another range that has two columns for every :-separated value, and split these into separate values. This range will be data for the chart.
Note that you'll need both X and Y values for the points you plot, and plotting a vertical line for each point requires a little finagling.
