expression labels

I have "2016 " in the label of expression; I have to replace it with vCurrentYear in many instances is there any way it can be changed in a single shot rather thanoi ngg to each expressin label and changing them?

Try with Settings --> Expression Overview --> Find/Replace

But above apprach will replace everywhere where it finds 2016 with variable.

Or try analyzing the app using this so that you can know where to replace.

s it should not change some thing in side expression but it should change only the label.

I don't think there is a way to do that as far as i know. You have to do it manually.

As i suggested use the Document Analyzer and determine the sheet/object/label to change. You can run Doc Analyzer after changes so make sure all are covered.

Select the expressions that you wanna change, and then use find/replace on Expression Overview, with all checks selected to see all expression types:

Yes, it wont work as i said. You have only one option that is "MANUAL" effort.

It is an expression you can change with this option, if it is one literal, you cannot change from this option.
