changing expression label in straight table in expression overview

Hi ,

I have expression label say "2016" in many charts. I want to replace this with "$(vCurrentYear)". Instead of changing manually at many places; I wanted to change in a single shot. Is there any way. I tried to change by going in to expression overview but I couldn't.

Go to Settings -- Expression Overview

Make sure you have ticked Chart Expressions

Now select all expressions for which you want to change 2016 to $(vCurrentYear)

Click Find/Replace

Type 2016 for Find What

and $(vCurrentYear) for Replace with

Click Replace All

I think you have to do manually in every chart
