To further illustrate Brian's points, try this: Right-click on the sheet tab SPH; from the context menu, choose Rename Sheet... In the dialog, type Single Point Hats or whatever other name suits you. Click OK. Now check your data ranges again. You'll find that instead of SPH or $SPH, it will

Brian: Thanks again. The name SPH must be assigned by OO Calc because it's nothing I named. Also SPH. preceeds each Data Range from Column A, which contains the x-axis data, and columns C, D, and E which contain the data charted. The prolific use of $ is unnecessary and confusing in this

Brian: Thanks again. Why anyone would use the designation SPH to refer to Sheet n is incomprehensible; why not, for example, SHn? I understand what you say about multiple sheet references. In this case there is only one sheet of Data and one sheet of Chart. Fred On 11/24/14 5:13
