See the comments to your other similar post. Also, I have no problems with
code like

ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "=charts!$A$1:$A$3"

or

With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
.Item(.Count).Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "=charts!$L$2:$N$2"
End With

Well in my code, the code
Series_1 = "='#of wells'!$C$" + RowLoc + ":$BQ$" + RowLoc
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Series_1
is equivalent (same as)
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='#of wells'!$C$45:$BQ45"
which appears to be what you show.
Error message: "Unable to set the Values property of te Series clause".

The one time that that can happen is if all the cells in the specified range
are empty.

Most definitely not empty; B43..BQ79 are completely populated.
Courtesy of your suggestions, i now can make multiple charts spaced
the way i want, and have the titles what i want.
Had to make a minor change, tho.
But still cannot change the series references.
What i have so far:

Sub Macro7()
'
' Macro7: Chart titles and positions change OK; cannot change series

TitleName = "Stripper Well Survey - "
Windows("StripperWellsMod.xls").Activate
Sheets("Charts").Select
Range("A1").Select
SheetRow = 1
ChartNum = 1
CTitle = TitleName + Sheets("#of wells").Cells(43 + ChartNum, 2).Value
' With Worksheets("Charts").ChartObjects(1).Chart <---does not work here
' so be eXplicit..
With Worksheets("Charts").ChartObjects("Chart 1").Chart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = CTitle
.ChartArea.Copy
End With
For ChartNum = 2 To 5
CTitle = TitleName + Sheets("#of wells").Cells(43 + ChartNum, 2).Value
RowLoc = LTrim(Str$(43 + ChartNum))
Series_1 = "='#of wells'!$C$" + RowLoc + ":$BQ$" + RowLoc
Series_2 = "=Production!$C$" + RowLoc + ":$BQ$" + RowLoc
With Worksheets("Charts")
.Paste
With .ChartObjects(.ChartObjects.Count)
.Top = Worksheets("Charts").Cells(SheetRow + 21, 1).Top
.Left = Worksheets("Charts").Cells(SheetRow + 21, 1).Left
' Following does not work; "Unable to set the Values property of the
Series class"
' .Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Series_1
With .Chart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = CTitle
.ChartArea.Copy
End With
End With
End With
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
.Item(.Count).Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Series_1
End With
SheetRow = SheetRow + 21
Next ChartNum
' Following does not work; "Unable to set the Values property of the
Series class"
' With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
' .Item(.Count).Chart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "=charts!$L$2:$N$2"
' End With

' deliberate error to force allowance of debug
ActiveChart.ChartTitle = "foo"
End Sub
