[PLUG] Plotting data - was [ RE-introduction to spreadsheets after decades ; /]

[Tomas Kuchta]

Select the first Data column then select your other data column while
holding Ctrl key.

Alternatively, you could describe the selection as:
=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$17,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$17
in data sources for your graph.
