I have a master workbook which does a series of calculations, then produces an embedded chart on a worksheet

I then copy this worksheet to a new workbook using Edit / MoveCopy sheet. The chart appears OK and correct.

When I run another study in my master workbook, and copy the latest chart to a new worksheet in the same new workbook, this apprears OK, but the original chart in the new workbook changes , to show the latest master chart - ie all the charts copied to the new workbook show the same, which is the latest chart on the mater workbook.

Can anyone please advise how I can break the links after copying the chart from the master?

If you do not want the chart to change, copy it as a Picture:

Excel (2003)
If you want a snapshot of a chart, select the chart, then SHIFT + Edit | Copy Picture... | select appropriate arguments. Now, paste this as desired.
Excel (2007)
If you're using 2007, it's a little harder to find.
Start with the Home ribbon and click the Paste dropdown button to see the As Picture > options.
Click the down button of the Paste split button, then click As Picture, and then you'll see Copy as Picture.
