Only first or last series created through loop is plotted instead of all

The problem I have is already stated in the title - I have a loop generating 18 series in my code and I'd like all of those 18 series to be plotted on one graph. Somehow I don't know how to do it. It's probably a simple and obvious mistake, but I fail to see it. Hopefully someone could point it out.
The relevant part of my code:
Code:
'add a chart
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(201, xlColumnClustered).Select

'avoid extra series
    Do Until ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count = 0
    ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Delete
    Loop
    
'loop through columns
    For i = 1 To 137 Step 8
    j = Cells(30, i).End(xlDown).Row
        If Abs(Cells(30, i)) = 0.2 Or Abs(Cells(30, i)) = 0.3 Then 
            ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Name = Cells(12, i + 5)
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = Range(Cells(31, i), Cells(j, i))
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = Range(Cells(31, i + 1), Cells(j, i + 1))
            Exit For
        Else
            ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Name = Cells(12, i + 5)
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = Range(Cells(30, i), Cells(j, i))
            ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = Range(Cells(30, i + 1), Cells(j, i + 1))
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
This code only plots the first (i=1) series and the graph's data set has only the 1st series in its data set. If I, however, delete the Exit For's then only the last (i=137) series is plotted and all the others are in the graph's data set but are empty.
Would appreciate any help!
 

Excel Facts

Quick Sum
Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Try replacing...

Code:
     ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
     ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Name = Cells(12, i + 5)
     ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).XValues = Range(Cells(31, i), Cells(j, i))
     ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(1).Values = Range(Cells(31, i + 1), Cells(j, i + 1))
     Exit For

with

Code:
    With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
        .Name = Cells(12, i + 5)
        .XValues = Range(Cells(31, i), Cells(j, i))
        .Values = Range(Cells(31, i + 1), Cells(j, i + 1))
    End With

Same thing for your Else statements.

Hope this helps!
