I have a monthly report that I publish that has a large number of charts
attached to it. Every month I go in and manually change the source
data in each individual chart. The columns are the only thing that
change in the source data, the rows remain the same.
Is there a way to automate the process or make a blanket change to the
columns in the source data to eliminate this tedious process??????

If Bernard's suggestion does not match your wish, I'd suggest recording =
a =

macro that changes the chart in the way you like. You'll probably have =
to =

edit the macro to make it do exactly what you want on each chart, but th=
e =

macro recorder will get you a long way. And if/when you try the macro =

recorder, come back with questions as you get along.

I got tired of doing this by hand, so I wrote a little macro to handle
it. You can change any parts of text in the series formulas, much the
same as Find-Replace works in the worksheet. To change the columns, I
find it's safest to include the dollar signs, i.e., change $C$ to $D$,
so you don't accidentally rename a worksheet or something.
