What is a Dynamic Chart

A dynamic chart is such a chart that fetches data from new cells automatically. When you insert a chart by clicking the respective option in Microsoft Excel, it uses a fixed range of cells. In other words, it doesn’t display new entry automatically, whereas a dynamic chart does it fluently. No matter how many cells you add, even after inserting the chart, it will gather information from those selected columns and show the graph accordingly. You can add as many rows as you want, but it is not recommended to add additional columns after inserting a dynamic chart in Excel.
