You need to summarize the data on a single sheet, then make your chart. You can use formulas to do this. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Sean Mc wrote: Is there a way to chart date from multiple sheets.

Charting data from multiple sheets
Jon,
You mentioned that to chart data from multiple worksheets you have to summarize the data on one worksheet using formulas. Can you point me in the right direction as to which formulas to look at? Thank you, Wayne |

Charting data from multiple sheets
Wayne -
Suppose I wanted the value from cell A1 of each sheet. In my summary sheet, I put the sheet names in A5, A6, A7. In B5 I put the formula =INDIRECT(A5&"!A1"), and I filled this down to B7. The formula builds a string containing the value of cell A5 plus the stuff in quotes, or Sheet1!A1, and the indirect evaluates the string, and returns the value in the cell it references. I can now use the range B5:B7 of my summary sheet to chart Sheet1:Sheet3!A1. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ Wayne wrote: Jon, You mentioned that to chart data from multiple worksheets you have to summarize the data on one worksheet using formulas.
