    Dynamic chart invalid reference - will not let me chart

    I've searched for the answer for this everywhere, but I have 3 named ranges that I chart dynamically. The ranges work fine, when I click on the names themselves it highlights the correct cells. However, excel will not allow me to chart with these ranges. I get the "a formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references" error. I enter the series values as follows: = Sheet1!Name. The names themselves are all properly referenced ie $A$1, $B$1 etc. I'm out of ideas why this isn't working. Thanks for any help.

    Without your spreadsheet attached to assist, the best I can do is provide an example.

    I have defined dynamic named ranges using OFFSET. These ranges are named DATES_COLUMN and YCOL_1.
    Under the 'Select Chart Data' option after right-clicking the graph, you can select to edit a range. Here you can define the Series name, Series X Value Array and Series Y Value Array

    My X Value Array is:

    My Y Value Array is:

    I believe the workbook name is required when referencing a named range.

    If you are still unable to get this to work, please post a spreadsheet and attach it to your post using 'Go Advanced'

    Do you have a failure e.g. #!div in the cells?
    Notice my main language is not English.

    What are the formulas that define these names?
