About SerriesCollection

Hello,

why

With xlChartObj(4)
.ChartType = xlPieExploded

.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='Sheet1'!$A$4"
.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='Sheet1'!$H$4:$J$4"
.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='Sheet1'!$H$3:$J$3"

.ApplyLayout (6)

.ChartTitle.Text = "Chart Example"
End With

works

and

With xlChartObj(4)
.ChartType = xlPieExploded

.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "='"  & xlSheet(4).Name & "'!" & strValueName
.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='"  & xlSheet(4).Name & "'!" & strValues
.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='"  & xlSheet(4).Name & "'!" & strValueString


.ApplyLayout (6)

.ChartTitle.Text = "Chart Example"
End With

doesn't while the content is the same ?

How can I assign a range tp my series ?
