In excel graphics is there a way to softcode the location of the data (and the legend) so one graph format can be used for several data sets

I have time series data to graph.   There are say 20 rows of data, one for each item, and a row containing a date series, which is common to all the data.   I want to be able to specify which row to plot and have the plot show that row.  I do not want a different graph for each row or one graph for all the rows.   Is there a way to do this?

Very elegant.   I had come up with a method where I specified a row to contain the data that was plotted and my pulldown copied the target data to the "plotting row", each time I wanted to plot a different data set.   Yours does the same but I will learn more from it.    Thanks for all the time it took to perfect this.
You're welcome.  I had actually considered your method (using a set of VLOOKUPS) but realized I could use a dynamic range name to achieve the same without needing an extra, dedicated "plotting row."
