- The easiest way is to select the first 200-entry column and create the chart.
- Now select the one series in the chart. In the formula bar, you'll see:
-
- =SERIES(,,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$200,1)
-
- or something similar to that. Change it to the following:
-
- =SERIES(,,(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$200,Sheet1!$B$1:$B$200,Sheet1!$C$1:$C$200,
- Sheet1!$D$1:$D$200,Sheet1!$E$1:$E$200),1)
-
- Note the extra parentheses. This makes the series data come from a
- discontinuous selection that happens to be five adjacent columns.
-
- Hope this helps...
