Hi there

I have a template tab with charts linked to data within that tab, the data is dynamic to a single cell within the tab and this cell is linked to the tab name. I have copied the whole sheet to over 200 sheets each with their own dynamic tab name. However I have now just realized that the charts are all still linked to the original tab data. I need to be able to make these charts dynamic to the tab they sit in. Is there a way to make 'Sheet1' in the example below dynamic to the tab name for example by using the formula: =RIGHT(CELL("Filename",A1),LEN(CELL("Filename",A1))-FIND("]",CELL("Filename",A1)))

e.g. =SERIES('Sheet1'!$R$8,'Sheet1'!$S$6:$T$7,'Sheet1'!$S$8:$T$8,1)

Any help would be great!

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hi Matty,

You can run this macro. It will change the "Sheet1" in the series formula to the TabNames in which charts are located.
Please make a back up file before running this macro

Code:
Sub ChangeChartSeries()
Dim mychart As Chart, i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
For i = 2 To Sheets.Count
    For j = 1 To Sheets(i).ChartObjects.Count
        Set mychart = Sheets(i).ChartObjects(j).Chart
        For k = 1 To mychart.SeriesCollection.Count
            mychart.SeriesCollection(k).Formula = Replace(mychart.SeriesCollection(k).Formula, "Sheet1", Sheets(i).Name)
        Next k
    Next j
Next i
End Sub
