Default Create a Chart w/data from multiple worksheets

Let me answer your question by quoting from the article I cited:

"Each of the three elements that can be linked to worksheet values (Series
Name, X Values, and Y Values) can only come from a single sheet."

Excel does not offer the same feature that you have found in Lotus 123. (I
know nothing of Lotus 123, having used it only briefly almost 15 years ago
before ditching it in favor of Excel.) You have to set up a summary range on
one worksheet in order to get data from multiple sheets into a single
component of the SERIES formula.

I've tried this and I'm still not getting the result I need. Here's what
I
used for the formula:

=SERIES(Jan 4!$A$15:$G$15, Feb 5!$A$15:$G$15, March 6$A$15:$G$15, June
7$A$15:$G$15, July 5$A$15:$G$15)

Is there a simpler way to get all the sheets?? In Lotus, I could just type
Jan 4:G15...July5:G15....Then all worksheets between those would be
graphed
on chart. Does Excel have something similar???

I have an excel file that has the following worksheets.

Jan 4
Feb 5
March 6
June 7
July 6

They each have data in the cell G15. I need the data from each of
those
cells plotted on the same chart. We've been using Lotus and it was
super
simple. I'm at a loss how to do the same thing in Excel.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this question!!
