I've created a new worksheet within a blank workbook, and this has the new
date range for charts for 2003-2005 and have 300+ client worksheets that
these blank worksheet needs to be in, is there a way of copying and pasting
into other workbooks, without having to redo the data series in each
workbook. This worksheet has 12 individual charts on it, so to do 300+ would
be extremely time consuming. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Give us some more detail regarding your data and we can probably help more
than you think. The sheet you have created and the 12 charts on it, do they
have any links to other sheets, or is the sheet a self contained thing.

If you do have links to other sheets in the file then are the links
identical in all the other workbooks?

Ken,

Thanks for your response. The 2003 - 2005 worksheet I have pulls information
from 3 different datasheets within the same workbook and the time it will
take to go into each graph in the 2003 -2005 worksheet and change the data
series for all 12 graphs on that specific worksheet will take for ever. I
look forward to any suggestions you may have.

Ok, so is every link going to be identical, eg a link that points to
sheet1!A25 in one workbook will point to that range in every workbook.

Also what version Excel are you using?

Where in the workbooks is this sheet going to go, eg first sheet, last sheet
or where?

Is there already a sheet in the workbook that needs to be deleted, and if so
what is it's name and then are there any other sheets in that workbook that
currently link to the worksheet to be deleted?

Yes, the links are identical in every workbook. The worksheet will pull from
the data sheet 2003, data sheet 2004 and 2005. I tried copying the sheet to
one of the clients workbooks last night, but it linked back to the original
workbook.

OK, I need the answers to my questions about any formulas on any sheets
linking to your chart sheet, whether a sheet exists to be deleted, if so
what is the name, where you want the sheet to go and what version excel.

I have Office XP and the new 2003-2005 will be the second to last tab on the
right, last one is labeled blank and no sheets will be deleted. Thanks for
your help.

I have a routine that will allow you to select a top level directory, open
up every excel file within it, copy a specific sheet from an already open
file across to the files, change all the links in the files to point back to
the files themselves (thereby removing the links). just don't want you to
hit any problems that I could stave off by knowing the answers to those
questions. Give me those and I'll make some final tweaks and post what you
need (hopefully).

Just in case I forget though, Try anything I post on a COPY of the directory
with all your files first. Always always back up your data first. :-)

Have to hit the sack pretty soon, so may have to pick this up tomorrow
(Nearly 01:00 here now - UK)
