Paste link for charts
I need to duplicate a set of graphs in a second workbook. I'd like to link
the second set to the first set so that changes to source data ranges (located in the first workbook only) automatically change the source data ranges in the charts in the second workbook. Copy\paste special\paste links doesn't seem to work for charts. Appreciate if you have any ideas about how to do this please. |

Just copy and paste the charts. They are already hard-wired to the original
data. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Warrain" wrote in message ...

Yes, but if I want to change the range of source data on the first workbook,
then I'll need to copy and paste them all over again. There are a number of graphs and the source data ranges need to change each month. Thanks for the suggestion.

Use a defined name to identify the X and Y ranges for each series, and use
these in the series source data. To change the data, change the definition of the name. The charts point to the range defined in the name. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Warrain" wrote in message ...

Thanks Jon, I'll give that a go when I get back to work tomorrow. Certainly
will be a great time saver. Cheers "Jon Peltier" wrote: Use a defined name to identify the X and Y ranges for each series, and use these in the series source data.

Paste link for charts
Jon,
Perhaps you can help me as well. When I recently did a paste special and then tried to link an Excel chart into a Word document, the chart was cut off about halfway from the left hand side in the Word document. Although I am able to change the size of the pasted chart within the Word document, I am unable to reveal that portion of the chart that is cut off. How can I fix this?

You should start a new thread for an independent topic.
Make the chart in Excel the same size it will need to be in Word before copying. This should minimize problems with the chart being distorted or truncated. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Weinheimer" wrote in message ...
