frustration.

I am at wits end; I am building revenue/profit projection charts from a

You're making life unecessarily difficult for yourself. Instead of reading
cells from all over the place directly into the graph utility, read the
cells from all over the place into a contiguous cell range, and then click
and drag those blocks of data the way you normally would.

One of the most important tools in the Excel graph-maker's mental toolbox
is to remember: "Worksheet cells cost nothing: I do not have to conserve
them." :-)
