Insert a Chart in Excel from a data table

Hi everyone,

I need to insert a Chart in an Excel file. It seems to be easy, but in my Excel file the Range I want to use for the chart is not always the same.

I’m using a Read Range activity to obtain a Data Table from the Range to ensure I’m reading all the data regardless of the number of rows or columns in the range.

But when I want to instert the chart, using an Insert Chart activity, I have to specify a Range and it is disallowed to use a Data Table as a Range.
I’ve also tried to use an Output Data Table activity to convert the Data Table in a Text, but it’s also disallowed to use it as a Range.
So, I’m in a mess.

¿Any help?
Thank you in advance
