    creating many similar graphs

    Hi All,

    I have a very basic question that has been driving me crazy.

    I have 100s of data sheets that I need to create similar graphs for.

    I would like to create a graph on the first sheet and then paste the second sheet such that the graph would use the numbers from sheet 2 instead of sheet 1. I have done this in the past but its been a while. I am not sure if they removed this ability in Excel 2013 or am I just missing the way to do it? Every time I try pasting, it just pastes the same graph with its original numbers. When I try paste special, I only get different image options.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Copied chart objects will retain links to original data location.
    If you copy the whole sheet then the links will update, but them you need to update the data.

    You could use VBA code to update charts series formula to reference new sheet.
    Cheers
