Default Dynamic chart problem

I am following the example from 'Peltier' site.
All goes well until I get to changing the chart's data source.
It tells me to insert the following formula:
=Series(Data!$AI$1,Data!$AH$2:$AH$10,Data!$AI$2:$A I$10,1)
But with no luck, I get the following message "THAT FUNCTION IS NOT VALID"
Any ideas

page on Jon's site that you are referring to.

My guess is that you've tried to insert that formula into a worksheet
instead of into a chart.
In the chart you need to select the series you are wanting to edit.

Wild guess: some localized versions of Excel require arguments in
functions to be separated by semicolons instead of commas:

=Series(Data!$AI$1;Data!$AH$2:$AH$10;Data!$AI$2:$A I$10;1)
