I have very simple chart macro code as:

sub chart()

Range("A1:B4").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets(
"Sheet2").Range("A1:B4")
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLine
End Sub


I want to control "Sheet" reference using combobox. Combobox has values Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3. I tried using this but it is not working:

sub chart()
Dim sht As String
sht = ComboBox1

'
Range("A1:B4").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets(
"sht").Range("A1:B4")
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLine
End Sub


I also tried using & sign on either side of the 'sht' but it is not working. Any ideas?
