how do i reference cells to create a chart?
 
I am compating data over many months in a spreadsheet with a tab for each
month. While the data changes from month to month, the format is consistent,
mostly for calculation purposes. I would also like to be able to use this to
create charts that can be transferred from one sheet to the next. Any help
would be much appreciated.

The easiest way is to make a chart on one sheet, then copy this sheet (with the
embedded chart). Copy the data for another month, and use Paste Special - Values
from the Edit menu to copy the data onto the corresponding cells of the copied
sheet. The copied chart will update with the copied data.
