Thread: 255 lines in value or category X labels

Hello,
I need to create a chart that is linked to a different file. But there is a
problem when I try to put in the category X label or values from the orginal
file because of the 255 limit.
I have shortened the name of the file and the worksheet as much as possible.
I have to create 12 columns on the chart and the most I can get is 4 or 6
columns.

Any help would be appreciated

Could you describe a little more clearly what you want to do, and what
you are limited to doing? We don't know which of the 255 limits you
might be referring to.
