Re: Re: Auto-update charts after copy/paste

Many thanks for the fast reply. I think I can use the "duplicate"-function to speed things up a bit - almost 
a shame I did not find this solution myself =) Nevertheless I think it could sometimes be a valuable function 
to provide a "link graph data to current sheet"-button in the chart preferences. Maybe in a future 
gnumeric-version. Best wishes,

Andreas

I think the simple way to do that is to duplicate your sheet (using
Edit/Sheet/Duplicate or the contextual manage sheets menu) and then
change the data.
Hope this helps.
