Hopefully this has not been asked before but if it has please point me to the correct string.
Is it possible to embed a DPlot Graph inside of an excel work book and make it automatically update when the data changes in the cells? |

Yes, but unfortunately that two-way link will only work during the current DPlot/Excel session. Once you close either one, the relationship will be gone.
Copy the data you want to plot in Excel. Switch to DPlot. Use Edit>Paste Special and check the "Link" box. Click the "Copy Picture" button on the toolbar. Switch back to Excel. Select Edit>Paste Special. Click the "Paste link" option. _________________ Visualize Your Data

David,
Thank you very much for the quick response. I think I should have stated the question a little differently.
Is there a way to get around losing the relationship once dplot is closed? Maybe a macro that triggers on the Workbook sheetcalculate event that would:
open dplot up
refreshes the data / graph
saves the file
closes dplot
It seems like it would be possible and hopefully someone else has already created a similar code? |

As far as I know nobody has created anything to do what you want.
The two problems I see are storing the source columns/rows, and the location and type of the pasted picture. I can probably work something out with an Add-In option: if checked then store the XLS filename, source reference, and name of the pasted graph in a separate file. I really have no idea whether this can be made to work , but I will look into it. _________________ Visualize Your Data
