Replace text in multiple charts

[netsonic]

I have an excel file that contains more than 200 charts.

Now I want to replace some text in all these charts' title, title of X-axis, title of Y-axis and text in legend.

Apparently it is a cumbersome task if I do it manually.

Is there automated way, like using VBA to do it?

Hi
this macro should replace text in chart and axis titles. Note it is case sensitive.

The case of legends is a bit different because these often are linked to cells on your worksheet containing the source data - do you want to overwrite such links and include an unlinked name? If so, this can be added.

Thank you Nick,

Yes, I want to overwrite the link for the legend, actually I use unlinked text for the legend in the charts.

BTW: why the variable "SearchString" in the 2nd line of the VBA code has no definition?

[NickyC]

Searchstring should be defined as a string, I just overlooked it
'
try this verison - I have also added a couple of inputboxes so the user can input the strings to find and replace
