I have a spreadsheet that is used for monthly and annual

Is there a way to rename 2011 to 2012 in bulk, or do I have to do
each
one manually?
Splitting up equally structured data across many sheets is *always*
a huge mistake. Don't do that.
Yes, can´t confirm this strong enough!

Have a look into Calc Guide Chapter 8
(http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/#cg), especially
read the third rule on page 24.

Cheers,

Yeah. OK. As someone who has been a Systems and Management Accountant (NOT a pseudo-database administrator) for 30 years and has used spreadsheets at advanced level with separate tabs for calendar-month data (as have all the colleagues I have worked with over that period in many different organisations) this is all very interesting but totally irrelevant to my question.


And as an addendum, I have a similar sheet in Excel. I asked the same question in the MS Excel forum and was immediately given a macro by an Excel specialist to do this without any lecturing on my method of data collection...
