Jon,

How can I determine there is a blank series?

I have 7 rows of data and 2 columns of data and that is plotted

=SERIES(,Trainings!$BG$5:$BG$11,Trainings!$BO$5:$BO$11,4)

The "4" inside the last paren indicates this formula is for the 4th
series. Select a series and use the arrow keys to cycle through the
other series (and other chart elements). See any gaps in the series
numbering? Do the selection indicators ever drop to the bottom for a series?
