Worksheet Relationship shows how your worksheets are connect to other worksheets, it can also show the linked workbook information.
Similar to Workbook Relationship , you will also see the Excel logo turns red if the link is broken. Cell Relationship is relatively useless for our topic because it can only find the linked references for a single Cell each time. If you want all the information of the external links and status used in formula, I highly recommend this VBA approach to you. In order to understand the VBA code, first you need to understand two Methods:. Workbook Method LinkSources can be used to find all external links in a workbook, storing the data in any array.
Although LinkSources fails to locate the Cell address that contains the external link, we can loop through each used Range that contains formula and see if it contains the string of the link. Since external link can be with or without brackets, both of the below should be considered as as external links when you do the checking. Workbook LinkInfo Method is to check status of linked workbook, so that we know whether the workbook link is broken or normal.
The below Procedure makes use of both LinkSources and LinkInfo Methods to find all external links and broken links in workbook. Since LinkSources fails to identify which Cell is using the external link, the Macro has to loop through each used Range to see if the cell formula matches links in LinkSources.
On the other hand, if a cell contains Named Range which uses external link, the Macro would loop through each underlying external link of all Named Range to find any match. Use this procedure when you want to set a different default path.
Each time that you create a link to a file in that location, you only have to specify the file name, not the path, in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. Note: You can override the link base address by using the full, or absolute, address for the link in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.
