Hi,

You can use named ranges to define chart data. This example uses a
workbook and worksheet level names.

=SERIES(,Sheet1!ChtLabels,Book1.xls!ChtData,1)

Here is a collection of dynamic charting examples,

In Source Data Series Y Values, I want to use name

Excel 2003 does not seem to permit that. I also tried
using a named range (e.g. 'Sheet 1'!FooBar or simply
FooBar), to no avail.

Is there some way that I can avoid absolute references
in the chart Source Data?
