Default Change Multiple chart source data

I have 200 charts (7 on each page)with one data page. I'd like to be
able to loop through the pages and charts and the row addresses. My
goal is to be able to change the column address from "f" to say "h"
for example, and have the macro loop through all the pages, charts
and range addresses.

I've figured out how to loop through activating the page and the
charts on each page, but can't figure out how to express the range
statement

.Range("A2:f6"),

with variables so I can loop through the row values for each chart.
I've tried statements like this -- but no luck. Am I just getting the
syntax wrong?

ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A" &
"z" & ":" & "F" & "y"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows


I would like to loop rather than having 200 statement like this since
the column names are the same throughout and the row numbers increment
by 7.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A2:f6"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A9:f13"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets("Sheet23").Range("A16:f20"), _
PlotBy:=xlRows


Your help will be appreciated. Thank You.
