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
[Code].....
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedLast 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI´m writting a macro. It works find until a certain point. When I want to change some outputs of the macro without changing the syntax, it display an error mesage while runing the macro. It says Else without If. Which is quite disturbing because the Else was not creating any problem before. Here is my macro before I changed the conditions (this one work nicely)
Sub Copy_Sheet_Beta()
Set wba = ActiveWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
If IsWorkbookOpened("Projekt.xls", "C:Documents and SettingsfrederikSkrivebordRedd Barna") Then
Workbooks("Projekt.xls").Activate 'In case open, just activate "Projekt"
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Documents and SettingsfrederikSkrivebordRedd Barnaprojekt.xls"
End If
Set wb = Workbooks("Projekt.xls")
wb.Activate
If Not SheetExists(wba.ActiveSheet. Range("C1").Value) Then
MsgBox "overall doesn't exist!"
Else........................................
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))
Im having problem with If/Then/Else Statements Not sure what the problem is. I have a text box a user inputs whatever in to create two new tabs one is the tab name then the next is tab completed. It isnt liking my syntax I have here.

1) why do I need double quotes "" "" on every argument in the function? Is it because I'm working with TEXT data?

I am trying to get the below autofilter working but to no avail, its just putting the text datStart and datEnd in the auto filter, not what I receive in the boxes, see bold line for line in question
Dim datStart, datEnd As Date
Dim strAgent As String
datStart = txtStart.Value
datEnd = txtEnd.Value
strAgent = txtAgent.Text
Range("A4").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=">datStart", Operator:=xlAnd, _
Criteria2:="<datEnd"
I thought I saw a thread where someone used AutoFilter as a one liner like
Range("VFILTER").AutoFilter 23, "True"
but for some reason this does not work. The filter is active, but it doesn't pay attention to the field or criteria part.
In VBA Excel 2000 while ODBC connecting to a dbase file:
parameter=" N0011"
...
ActiveSheet.QueryTables.CommandText = Array( _ ...
"SELECT ... & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & _
"FROM ... & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & _
"WHERE (dbase_file.field1=" & chr(34) + parameter + chr(34) & "... & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & _
"ORDER BY ...")
...
It doesn't work any more in Excel 2003. Of course it works directly such as:
"WHERE (dbase_file.field1=' N0011')
but I couldn't find the way to replace the ' N0011' with the parameter.
It is not the singular issue...
"FROM dbase.file dbase.file " that worked well in Excel 2000, the Excel 2003 "wants":
"FROM 'drivepath'dbase_file dbase_file "
and I couldn' find a way to replace the explicit 'drivepath' with a predefined variable.
