Lightbulb Editing Excel LInked File in PowerPoint

You have a Powerpoint that is linked with an excel file lets call it File A, and there are 50 graphs in that file that you have linked in the Powerpoint in 20 different slides.



Now you have updated file called file B, with same graphs but updated numbers and now you want to edit link all the graphs that were linked with File A (all 50 slides) with File B.

How will you do it ?

because doing it link by link is so annoying.
I do have my own way of doing it in a single click that ensures everything edits properly in a click but am i missing something is there a builtin feature that can do it ?

The simplest approach is to rename File B as File A.

Or you could use a macro like:
Code:
Sub ChangeLinks()
Dim Sld As Slide, Shp As Shape
For Each Sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
  For Each Shp In Sld.Shapes
    With Shp
      If .Type = 10 Then
        With .LinkFormat
          .SourceFullName = Replace(.SourceFullName, "File A.xlsx", "File B.xlsx")
          .Update
        End With
      End If
    End With
  Next
Next
End Sub
