Change Data Source of the Chart to Destination Worksheet while Copying Rows or Range

Possible Usage Scenarios

When you copy rows or range which contains charts to a new worksheet, then the data source of the chart does not change. For example, if the data source of chart is =Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4, then after copying rows or range to new worksheet, the data source will remain the same i.e =Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4. It still refers to old worksheet i.e. Sheet1. This is also the behavior in Microsoft Excel. But if you want that it to refer to the new destination worksheet, then please use the CopyOptions.ReferToDestinationSheet property and set it to true while calling the Cells.CopyRows() method. Now if your destination worksheet is DestSheet, then the data source of your chart will change from =Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4 to =DestSheet!$A$1:$B$4.
