Changing linked cells to point at a new sheet en masse

I have a task list that has dates linked in from a separate calendar sheet. We have 12 calendars (1 per month) but only the 1 task list. Is there a way to change all the links in the task list to a new calendar sheet rather than one by one relinking each one?

Thanks

Hi Andrea,

Yes, there is. If you select the range of cells you want to link from and copy them and then without leaving the tab you're in, go to the sheet where you want the linked values and right click in the first cell of the range and select Paste Special and Links to copied cells.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for this, I tried but even after highlighting the range of cells to "paste special" to it only pasted the link in the first cell of the range.

Happy to help!

It will paste the same range as you copy. If you copy ten cells, it will paste ten cells, and you only need to select the starting cell.

Did you get it to work?
