As my article states, you need the summary page. You cannot spread Y values
for a series across multiple sheets. I know you're looking for just that,
you've stated it twice, and it won't happen.

A summary sheet may seem like a problem, but it's nice to get your data in a
place where you can see it all at once. The extra sheet will not cost any
additional money or hard drive space, either.

I found the format for the series formula on the link you sent me in your
response. However my Y values are not a range of cells on the same sheet.
Each Y value in the series is on a seperate worksheet. Is it possible to
use
data points for my Y values from different sheets but all values are in
the
same series? Let's say I'd like to use a string of 12 data points on my Y
axis but each data point is located on a seperate page. I'm looking for a
way to do this without having to create a summary page.

Okay I've seen this subject line in several postings but this may or
may
not
be a bit different. I'd like to create a line graph of my monthly
expenses.
I have an expense worksheet for each month and a workbook for each
year.
How
can I plot one value for each month (my monthly expenditures) in a line
graph
with one line representing the entire year and 1 point plotted for each
months value totaling 12 points? I've tried to do this using a
seperate
series for each month's value but I keep getting all twelve values
plotted
but only one value in the x-axis. I'd like to have each month on the
x-axis.
Any suggestions?
