    Named Data Ranges & Chart

    I can't seem to get named data range into the source data of a chart, I try ="BHSUM","NGCSUM","LYNSUM","BLANKSUM" but anything I put in results in the source data being ={0,0,0,0}. How do I tell the chart to use the named data ranges for it's source data?

    I've put =BHSUM, =NGCSUM, etc, into random cells to make sure all the formulas work, and they do.

    I can get it to half work... When I put:

    It works, but Excel changes the code to =Courier.xls!BHSUM

    So I try:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    And it gives me the error message "Your formula contains an invalid enternal reference to a worksheet."

    I have a number of data ranges, BHSUM, TLCSUM, RTNSUM, MADSUM, LYNSUM, NGCSUM, BLANKSUM, and they all are valid working data ranges.

    Instead of putting the ranges into one formula, add multiple series to the chart and define each of them separately.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, do you have an example?

    Is this an impossible problem to solve?

    A range is defined as the name of the workbook and then the name of the range, the name of the sheet does not feature!

    What I meant was that you right-click on the chart, choose Select Data, then "Add" under Legend Entries (Series). You will have to add one series for each range you want added to your chart.
