I'd like to create a line chart with the values from columm A (the
dates) as the X axis and the values from column B for the Y axis
and this from all sheets in the spreadsheet. As if I would not
have used multiple sheets but would have put all the data just in
one.

OK, that is clearer now. You have to use the tab "Data Series". For
the role "X-Values" you would write $Sheet1.A2:$Sheet3.A6 and for
the role "Y-Values" you would write §Sheet1.B2:$Sheet3.B6, for
example. The chart is drawn as if the data are $Sheet1.A2:B6
followed by &Sheet2.A2:B6 followed by $Sheet3.A2:B6.

That sounds good but the result doesn't look right. See the chart for
multiple sheets[1] versus the chart I created by copying the data of
all sheets into one sheet[2].

I finally figured it out. For reasons I don't fully understand yet, it 
was the wrong chart type: Line > Lines Only instead of XY (Scatter) > 
Lines Only. I switched to the latter and it started looking right[1] 
(and the same as if using just one sheet).

From my limited understanding and my previous exposure to charts I 
actually wanted a Lines chart and not a XY (Scatter) with lines only[2].

Anyway, thanks to everyone who helped me in this thread; and especially 
thanks to Regina, the queen of charts!

Thanks, Thorsten
