change source data in multiple charts
Hi
I have over 30 charts where I need to change the source data and it's taking ages doing it manually, especially as each chart has 3 or 4 series. Is there an easy way of doing this, please? I've tried find and replace, but that doesn;t work Thanks |

We need a little more detail. 1. Are you modifying all the charts to use
the same new range or does each chart use a different new range? Is the data compact, that is, if you choose the chart wizard and look at the Data Range tab does the Data Range box contain a simple reference like =Sheet1!$B$2:$E$7?

Hi
The charts will all be using different data ranges, but they are all in the same column, which is why I thought find and replace might work. Yes, the data is compact. All I want to do is change the column letter (eg from column B to column C) Thanks "Shane Devenshire" wrote: We need a little more detail. 1.

I've built a small utility that manages simple changes for you. To change a
column, change (for example) $A$ to B. If you just change A to B, it may also change the letter A in a sheet name. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ChgSrsFmla.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Tuxla" wrote in message ...

Hi,
We need more detail - is each chart being plotted from the same range or is each chart plotted from a different range? If its the "source data" that is changing why do you need to change anything - charts are dynamic and update automatically? If you are plotting different ranges when the data changes, how does the new data range relate to the old data range? Does it move one column to the right, or down one row, or what. Is the new data in a completely different part of the spreadsheet/workbook and if so how do you know where it will be? Give us an example - the original data plots A2:C20 and the new plot will be D2:F20 or what ever. Thanks, Shane "Tuxla" wrote in message ...
