=SERIES(Name_ref,Categories, Values, Plot_Order)
Help with the Name_ref looks like what I most need, as the chart references what looks like a named range, but I can't find it. I inherited a spreadsheet (Excel '97)tracking "Days to Assign." When a software defect is reported (April 1, 2007, for example) and it's assigned to a tester, this chart shows the days it took to assign the defects. Pretty simple. However, I cannot figure out the SERIES function. I looked up the syntax, and it looks straight forward. Ex: I copied and pasted this from the chart where I clicked on a data point. =SERIES("Qtr 1 07",'Report Data'!$N$2:$N$31,'Report Data'!$P$2:$P$31,1) Column N - Y Axis (not sure what's meant by "Plot Order") Column P - Assigned (#days it took to assign the issue) Problem: I cannot find the referenced "Qtr 1 07" in the worksheet "Report Data". I looked by going to the name bar, but as far as I can tell, there are no named ranges. Is "Qtr 1 07', actually I see no ranges at all. I looked in all worksheets, but only two have data, and the other 5 are graphs that I'm supposed to update, but since the previous guy left and nobody I have access to knows that much about Excel, I'm supposed to figure it out :) Any help would be appreciated. I think I'm in over my head. Thanks, very much. George |
