I have about 200 files all ending with the 2016 as part of the name. I've copied all of these and pasted them a 2017 folder and want to rename all the files ending with 2017. Is there a way to do these all at once or is it a manual process for each one?

Thanks,

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
I'd suggest powershell.
Code:
dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace '2016', '2017'}
