 Offset function
 Mc9_DynamicRange_ to set the range in dynamic manner
=offset($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),counta($1:$1))
o Assumption : we have to give the header for row E in case if we need add data, else if
the header is blank but the data on below that has contents, then the dynamic range
won’t be considered.

 Month
OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$1,1,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$B:$B))
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,1,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$A:$A))

 To create a dynamic chart, first create a chart, and then click on the lines of the chart , and then
select the formula bar, replace $A2:$A7 with Month and subsequently $B with Units
