Is there an easy way to update the data source for multiple pivot tables on a single Excel sheet at the same time?

All of the pivot tables reference the same named range, but I need to create a second worksheet that has the same pivot tables, but accessing a different named range.

Ideally I would like to be able to do some kind of search and replace operation (like you can do on formulae), rather than updating each individual pivot table by hand.

Any suggestions?
