Detect Hyperlinks And Source Links
Nov 21, 2013
I often have Excel sheets in which Excel tells me there are hyperlinks and content from other sources. I guess it happens because I copy something from one sheet to another.
First, is it possible to copy-and-paste from a sheet to another and only copy the concrete formulas and formats, and no source to the old file?
Secondly, how can I detect where these hyperlinks and links to other sources are? I see they exists, but I can't seem to find them. Does Excel have such function? Can I detect them with a VBA script?

How can I detect on an excel workbook which cell have links(formula =) to
other workbooks without have to put my cursor on top of each linked cell.
I have had a hard time finding this cells. I can see the links by choosing Edit
then links, and excel will display list of links, but it does not specify
which cells contain those links

I have a workbook with a few worksheets. In sheet1 I have a few ranges which are linked to different parts in the other excel sheets.
Is there anyway to check if a range is being used as a link in another sheet.
Eg.
In sheet1 , A1 i have a value Apple.
In sheet2, A1 I have linked it to sheet1 A1.
is it possible to detect the link in sheet2 A1 from Sheet1 A1? I tried using Trace dependents but all it shows me is the link symbol? An arrow with a small excel sheet.

I have a master price list that will have items added or removed from it occasionally. I have sixty workbooks that contain detailed data on mixes of multiple products from the master price list. All the corresponding prices throughout the sixty workbooks are linked to their specific slot on the master price list. The problem: if the sixty workbooks are closed and anyone adds a new row to the master price list, when I open any of the workbooks the values update but the referenced cell does not.
So if the price for Product 25 is located in cell K118, and two products are added in above K118, when I open any of my mix sheets that contain Product 25 the linked cell should be to K120. But it's not doing it that way. It is holding on to the referenced K118 cell and updating the value to the wrong price.
I've played around with the VLOOKUP function but haven't been able to make it work. Linking the cell as I have has worked great, if I could just get it to adjust the reference as new rows are added to the source workbook.
I've figured out that it will update the workbooks when I add a row if all that are required are open when the addition is made. But my boss will not open sixty workbooks every time a change needs to be made to the master price list, which he controls.

I am try to copy a worksheet "exactly" from one workbook to another, i.e. all formulas and range names reference the new workbook and not link back to to the workbook they were copied from. The code below brings the formulas and named ranges over still referencing the source workbook: SourceWB.Sheets(sht).Copy after:=TargetWB.Sheets(sht)

I'im using an index - match - match formula with links to an external file.
Everything works fine until I close the source workbook. At that moment the liks break. The error I'm getting is #REF!.
I suspect the reason is that the source data are in form of an official table. I tried some formulas with data in the same workbook but outside the table and they keep working after the source file is closed.
I really want to keep the source data in a form of an official excel table.

I built a template which pulls data from the source file using formulas. the problem is formulas doesn't give any error it updates the right value when the source workbook is open.
I Thought problem could be with the formula and tried just Source A1=destination A1. it also updates only if the source file is open. when the source file is closed it shows the last captured value.
The source file is on the (Work) Network Drive and is accessible to few people. my template is password protected (tabs) so formulas cannot be deleted.

how to protect a worksheet from editing and at the same time allow all data source links within the sheet to be refreshed? I need my users to be able to refresh all data links as required but not be able to change the worksheet in any other way.

I have a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).
I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)
The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done

I have an unwanted link and I can't remove it. I have tried through the Edit Links dialog box, searched for [ in formulas throughout the workbook and gone searching manually for the reference but to no avail.

I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jon

I need to send a file to hundreds of users so that I can tell who has a particular add-in installed. This file will then be saved to a particular directory. The problem I'm having is controlling the error that occurs when the add-in is NOT installed. The below approach (using On Error Goto) clearly isn't the way to go. I need something like
If(Iserror(AddIns("AmartaSpecs") Then Cells(2,3)="No"
The code I have so far is:
Sub Amarta_Specs()
Dim a
'ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Delete
Cells(1, 1) = "Username"
Cells(1, 2) = "Computer Name"
Cells(1, 3) = "Add-in installed?"
Cells(2, 1) = Environ("Username")
Cells(2, 2) = Environ("Computername")
On Error GoTo Error
Set a = AddIns("AmartaSpecs")
Cells(2, 3) = "Yes"
Error:
Cells(2, 3) = "No"
ChDir "E:FinanceSQL Add-in test"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="E:FinanceSQL Add-in test" & Environ("Username") & ".xls"
End Sub

I searched this site and found the code below to check if a worksheet to be updated is already open. It works fine (gets the desired message) if the workbook is open, but if not open I get "Run-time Error 9, Subscript out of range". I've played with it for a couple hours,
VB:
Dim wBook As Workbook
'Check that Summary worksheet is available for update.
Set wBook = Workbooks("CommittedSummary.xls")
If wBook Is Nothing Then 'Not open
'Do nothing
Else 'It is open
i = MsgBox("The 'CommittedSummary.xls' workbook is already in use and
cannot be updated. Please try again when the workbook Is available", _
vbCritical, "Committed Request Edit")
Goto EndUpdate
End If

I am doing a bit of data spring cleaning... I need some VBA that will look at column FT for duplicates. I want it then to keep only the most recent one, so it would delete the others rows completely. Column B contains a date and time. When removing the items it should make a copy of them to the sheet Delete Log.

if i have data across multiple rows than is it possible to analyze that data in say row 1 and once row 1 ends move to row 2. example
Array Data
Colmn A B C D E
Row1: 3 1 4 6 8
Row2: 6 7 8 9 10
Row3: 4 5 1 2 8
Row4: 6 4 3 2 1
Row5: 2 4 1 2 2
OutPut Format
Colmn F
Row 1: Age is 3
Row 2: Always Same - Note this appears even though not part of data
Row 3: Year is 1
Row 4: Time is 4
Row 5: Hour is 6
Row 6: Minute is 8
Row 7: !
!Not Part of Output Comment: Now row 1 data has ended. Move to Row 2!
Row 8: Age is 6
Row 9: Always Same - Note this appears even though not part of data
Row 10: Year is 7
Row 11: Time is 8
Row 12: Hour is 9
Row 13: Minute is 10
!
etc
etc
etc
also note that the text that comes up in each row is not part of the data portion. Its just the number or string that gets pulled from the data portion.

I'm trying to automate a spreadsheet that downloads a set of tickers from Bloomberg and then fills across a range with a series of data. I have most of the VBA code I need, but my problem is that on opening the spreadsheet, the code moves on to fill the range before all the tickers have downloaded correctly.
I've tried using application.wait and setting up loops until the time reaches a certain value, but these seem to stop Excel updating the list of tickers (presumably the loops stop excel gathering the data?). I suspect that what I need to use is something like the querytable. afterrefresh, but am not sure I'm using it correctly since my knowledge of VBA is very rudimentary.
(i) is there a way of getting the sheet to open, and then just wait for a period of time while still allowing the tickers to download, and/or
(ii) any way to detect when the tickers have finished downloading before the next step of code can commence?

I am trying to detect if a user leaves a cell empty. I have tried If statements like:
If Target.Value = "" Then
and
If (IsNull(Target.Value) Then
The problem is when the user uses the spacebar to delete an entry in that cell. If they leave any spaces after exiting the cell those if statements fail to run.

In column A i have a range of dates
In column B i have a range of descriptions
In column C i have formula which calculates an interest figure based on the date entered in column A and a date entered in a cell elsewhere. It also makes the cell display a couple of different strings of text if conditions are not met e.g. It displays "too early" if the date entered is more than 4 years before the date entered in the cell elsewhere
The problem that im having is this:
When i try to calculate column C i want it to throw an error if there is anything but a numeric value in the column. But it is obviously considering the cells in column C with for e.g. "too early" as a "0". I have tried all sorts of formula to do this to no avail, IFTEXT, IFNUMBER, ISTEXT, ISNONTEXT etc etc.

how can I detect the OS of the computer a sheet is running on and launch a macro accordingly?
I have built a calculator that utilizes an embedded wave file but doesn't work correctly with Vista. With Vista it actually causes WMP to be launched instead of just playing the file. So I was hoping to be able to skip the sound on Vista machines but play for all other OS's.

I need to detect blank rows and then delete them but for the formula not be be affected
In the example attached there are 4 components but i may only need to use 3 so row 4 would be blank
i need to find the blank rows and delete them and for the formula in cells G12:H14 to be update as necessary
at the moment if i delete the rows i get a REF# in place of the cell which has been deleted
i have tried this on a simple formula and when you delete a row the formula changes as required
