Is Clustering Dynamic?

When I create the Cluster in Scatter plot, is it dynamic? Meaning, as the data changes over a period of time, will it automatically find clusters and create the grouping accordingly or once I create the cluster initially, that grouping remains the same until I create a new cluster?

 

I hope it's the former but think it's the later. 

 

Thanks.

    I got my answer - it's not dynamic. I created a simple worksheet and changed the numbers to see if the cluster would change. It did not. Once the grouping is created, you will have to re-run "Automatically find clusters" again to create a new grouping. I wish it was automatic. 

     

    A workaround, for now, would be to use R or Python to create the clusters.

        If it's Scatter Chart like below, it should be dynamic.
