Using Defined Names in a Chart

[bobburg]

I am using Office 2002.
I am trying to create a chart that has only one Series called Data. The
values for DATA is a name called SCROLL_DATA. The name has been defined
using the Insert-Name-Define action. The workbook is called Quality
Escapes.xls I have entered the following in the values box as I have
seen many instruction as follows

=Quality Escapes.xls!SCROLL_DATA

What am I doing wrong.

Hi

Instead of workbook name, use sheet name, which contains your data - excel
replaces it with workbook name automatically. I.e. you enter the reference
as
=SheetName!RangeName

Note the presence of the single quotes.
