Thanks again. That works great on charts that need to edited. The formula
bar doesn't show a long series formula for new charts. I've looked to see if
I have that turned off but can't find where that would be.

You could edit the series formula (which is actually how I prefer to do
this). Select the series and look in the formula bar. Change this:

=SERIES(????,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12,Sheet1!$D$2:$D$12,1 )

to this:

=SERIES(????,(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12, Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12),(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$12,Sheet1!$E$2: $E$12,Sheet1!$F$2:$F$12),1)

where ???? is either blank, a text string in quotes, or a range address,
used for the series name.

Thanks. Is there a way to maneuver around the 'series' box without
changing
the formula unintentionally? Long formulas are hard to edit

The easy way:

Duplicate A2:A12 in A13:A23 and A24:A34. Copy E2:E12 to D13:D23 and
F2:F12
to D24:D34 and make your chart from columns A and D.

Hard way:

Make the chart using A2:A12 and D2:D12. Go to Chart menu Source Data
Series. Select the series, change X values from

=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12

to

=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$12,Sheet1!$A$2:$ A$12

and change Y values from

=Sheet1!$D$2:$D$12

to

=Sheet1!$D$2:$D$12,Sheet1!$E$2:$E$12,Sheet1!$F$2:$ F$12

and click OK.
