I have a program with 76 charts. They all use the same range to get their
x-axis (dates). At the first of every month, I change the dates to show the
upcoming month. The table shows the entire year, but we just view it one
month (fiscal) at a time. The series is by rows, but could be changed to
columns if necessary. I inherited this program.

Currently I have to update each one of them manually (click on each and
change their XValues). Is there a way I can update all of them at one time?
Could vba be used to select and update each chart with me just selecting the
range? I am no stranger to vba, but have done very little when it comes to
charts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can use a dynamic range to provide the xaxis label reference.

You might want to use VBA to apply the named range rather that do it 76
times. But once done updating should be automatic.

Cheers
