Default Excel Bar Graph

Hi,

There is a limit to the length of the series formula.
Using non consecutive cells vastly increased the length of that formula.

Here is an example, firstly plotting the range A1:B10

=SERIES(,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10,Sheet1!$B$1:$B$10,1)

Now plotting only the even rows. So less data points but the series
formula length is 90 characters longer.
=SERIES(,(Sheet1!$A$2,Sheet1!$A$4,Sheet1!$A$6,Shee t1!$A$8,Sheet1!$A$10),(Sheet1!$B$2,Sheet1!$B$4,She et1!$B$6,Sheet1!$B$8,Sheet1!$B$10),1)

Simplest way is to use consecutive cells and formula to build a set of
charting data.

Cheers
Andy
