I've got a file that is currently linked to two other files. The links are summed in the cell as below:
='[Book1.xls]Funding and Interest'!D$17+'[Book2.xls]Funding and Interest'!D$17...and so on.
I want to get rid of the link to Book1, so I'd zeroed the values in Book1 and my plan was then to Break the links to this, leaving zeros and the links that I want, but because both files are linked in the same cell (the same nested SUM), when I go to Edit, Break Links, it breaks the links to both files, even though I only select one form the list.
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'm looking for syntax to break all links in a workbook using VBA. I've found the below through independent research but I'm receiving a type mismatch error.
Code: Sub BreakLinks() 'Macro Purpose: Break all links in the active workbook Dim vLinks As Variant
Somehwere in a review of your book, it referred to an add-in that attempts to break all links to a workbook. I looked on the site (microsoft) with the provided URL but could not find it. Is it still there? Does it work for EXCEL 2002?
I copied 2 worksheets from one file to another and went in to "Edit Links" and changed the source to itself rather than the original file which took away those links in the cells that the original file was present in, but it still gives me a dialogue when opening the file that links to the original file. I go back to "Edit Links" and press "Break Link" but it doesn't seem to remove the link to the original file. If I click on "Connections", none are present. I clicked on "Startup Prompt" and set it so that it wouldn't annoy me with the prompt any more, but I'd ideally like to not have any reference to the original file.
How can I break the link between a chart and a worksheet? If I change the name of the worksheet and try to use the chart I got an error that the current worksheet is the one that the chart is related to. I tried changing the source from the links option in the bar - no effect. I checked conditional formatting - also no effect. How can I break all existing links between the sheet and the macro?
Last week I copied a worksheet from one spreadsheet into another, and have since been working from the new one. When I open the file I get a message box asking if I want to Update links from the other workbook. But I've deleted all named ranges, formulae, shapes, everything that could possibly link to the other workbook. I've also (in my frustration) completely deleted the sheet that was originally copied and re-made it from scratch. But it STILL comes up with this update box. In Excel's Help it says to go to Edit/Links and press Break Link, which I have tried but it doesn't do a thing. The link is still sitting there in the display box in the Links window - it says that the Type is Worksheet, I don't know if this makes any difference that it's not a formula or anything?
Also, in complete desperation when it wasn't deleting the link, I changed the source to a random file, so it now comes up with an error in updating (which it obviously would) however this doesn't have any effect on my file because as far as I can tell it no longer has links to the other file! I'm tempted to just go to the option that says don't show the Update prompt on opening (the file is to be handed in as coursework on Wednesday) but this doesn't solve the problem, only bypasses it! Each time I made a major change (e.g. recreating the copied worksheet, changing the source) I saved the file under a different name, so I have all old copies just incase I've completely messed it up!
I am new in VBA, but I have a short procedure to break all external links in the currently active workbook.Is there any option to firstly update all external links and only then break them?
Sub BreakLinks() Dim Links As Variant Dim i As Integer With ActiveWorkbook Links = .LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) If Not IsEmpty(Links) Then For i = 1 To UBound(Links)
I have a workbook that archives by date and is saved for 1 month at a time. At the end of the month, all the archived workbooks are moved to another location and are no longer needed.
The problem I am having is I don't know how to break the link between the master and all the saved workbooks. So when I open the master it is looking for the old workbooks in the folder location and they do not exist. How do I break this link?
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 have several hundred workbooks which are linked to a master workbook from where the workbooks draw their information. Now I would like to break all the links in all of the several hundred workbooks to this master workbook and retain the information. Is this possible without having to open each workbook individually and break the links via the 'edit links' option?
I'm having troubles with a spreadsheet and unfortunately don't know enough VBA to fix it. I have two columns, each with data like so (standard text) separated by a line break:
Object1 Object2 Object3 value1 value2 value3
And I need them separated like so:
Object1 Value1
Object2 Value2
Object3 Value3
with other items in the row from other columns applied to the new rows accordingly.
Any script/macro/tool (even non-Excel) to do this effectively (over 800 rows)?
I have a master spreadsheet that links to various other spreadsheet for budget figures. I have now created and updated the budgets for the 2008/09 budget year.
It is painstaking to update the links and browse to the new files one at a time and point them to their new folder. Is there a way I can update all of the link workbooks to the new directory in one fell swoop?
Any way in which i can 'paste link' and then 'paste link' again without overwriting the first link. example i have a row (say A1 to H1) with varying values in Book1 Sheet1. i know how to copy and paste a link to that onto, lets say Book2 Sheet1. but now in Book3 Sheet1 i want to copy and paste a link from A1 to H1 over to Book2, but have both links open for auto updates.
I've recorded a Get External Data macro and wish to modify source and destination components. I would like to replace the absolute link to the file name with a variable and the Destination range to the active cell at the time I run the macro.
This is the is the macro code line that handles the source and destination components I want to modify.
Range("AQ2").Select With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "TEXT;C:filename.csv", Destination:=Range("AQ2"))
The code which you provided works fine no problem for a page break. I need to run the macro for the page break by asking the input file for page break to be done.
For Example, If excel filename "A" contain the code which you have given need to ask to input the filename "B" and process need to be done in file "B".
I have added some code to your code which you provided but it gives error message "1004" "Method 'Range' of object '_Application' failed" at following line :
Set rng = oExcel.Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
I need a macro that can take a sheet containing million rows and break it down into multiple sheets within the same workbork beginning on sheet 2 (source data on sheet 1). I would like the macro to include a input box that appears when the macro is run that asks "how many rows per sheet?"
I am herewith enclosing the sample data, which is one row, containing the branch name, branch code, itemcode, rate, qty, amount . Each branch has several items with different quantity of various rates, which has come in the horizontal line. Now I want that in one by one, for converting that data into oracle.

I would like to break the string apart so I have only account # in column "a" and the right most sub account name in column "b". So if I use my example from above, I would have 70160 in "a" & Travel & Ent.-Travel & Lodging in "b". Note all the account name & sub accounts are separated by ":"
What Id like to do is breakapart this data, remove the html tags, and place each element of the table in its own cell (a1, a2,a3 etc.). Anybody have any ideas, I'm just not familiar enough with the IE DOM.
I copied a worksheet with a pivot table as a new worksheet. I wanted to group each pivot table differently on each worksheet, but the changes I make on one worksheet is reflected on the other. Is there a way to break the "link" between these tables?
I have a workbook that is not showing everything that I would like it to on one page (but I know that all the information would fit onto one page (width) but I cannot seem to be able to change the page break. I tried following the directions in the "excel help" but just can't seem to get it to work. I have attached a sample workbook so that you can see what I mean.
I have a worksheet where the print area is 16 columns and ~90 rows. have it set to print on one page in page set-up, which generally scales to about 80%, and this has worked fine for years. A couple of months ago I was traveling for work, but got a call that the worksheet was printing each cell as a separate page. My co-worker messed around with it and it seemed to fix when she cleared and reset the print area, and has been working fine ever since.
Today it popped up again. It is setting automatic page breaks every few cells so page 1 is A1:A7, page 2 is A8:A11, etc...Both Print Preview and actually printing a page show me my few cells in the lower right hand corner of the page. Viewing the page break preview shows that they are all automatic page breaks, and if I try to move them I get the error that Microsoft Office Excel cannot move the page break because doing so would reduce the scale below the minimum 10%.
As I mentioned I have it set to "fit to" 1 page high and 1 page wide, which it right now is saying sets the scale to 10%. If I instead choose the scaling to be "adjust to" and set to 100% it only wants to take up 4 pages, but if I try to manually drag the break over afew columns it reverts back to wanting to print every few cells.
I have this code that is to long for the vba window so I read around and found I had to add a space and _ to extend the line.For some reason I get an error in the code when I do that?
However I copied the formula right from the working cell?
I have a spreadsheet that I have been using for some time. Suddenly, in just the Worksheet_change event procedure, break points will not work. In the same sheet break points do work for other events. I've tried everything.
