It doesn’t mention that you can have it auto update every 1 minute by right click the data selecting data range properties and editing the refresh control.

Using that method the quickest it can refresh is every 1 minute. If you need it quicker than that you can record a macro and the following line of code to the end:

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Refresh"

Where Refresh is the name of your Macro

This will refresh every 1 second (change 00:00:00 part for any time in hours minutes and seconds.
