Adding extra data to a chart
 
You really ought to use a contiguous range to hold your data. If you need to
gather data from separate cells, gather them using formulas in a single
column, then plot this column.

The problem is that the series formula has a limit on its length. Every cell
you add contains a number of characters, "Sheet1!$A$1" is eleven characters,
plus a comma, plus brackets surrounding the whole string of them. If your
sheet name is much longer, it's easy to see how you run out of characters
after ten or twelve points.
