Powerful Features

When you format a chart, says change background, change the fill color of columns/bars/lines, etc., you may want to copy the chart formatting to other charts, how could you deal with it? Of course, you can copy the chart formatting and then paste to other charts manually one by one. Here, I will recommend the Copy Format to Other Charts tool of Kutools for Excel to copy the formatting of one chart and paste to multiple charts in bulk easily.

Tips: By default, all charts in active workbook are listed in the dialog, if you want to paste the chart formatting to the same type of charts only, please tick the Show only charts of the same type option before selecting charts.

So far, the formatting of the selected chart has been pasted to the checked charts already.
