erroneous external links warning
Every time I open a certain Excel workbook, I get a warning that the file contains external links. It doesn't. I have followed all the advice and searched the entire workbook, sheet by sheet and cell...

Without the workbook I can only guess. Most of these links come from the conditional formatting of copied sheets. You can do that under Conditional Formatting -> Clear Rule -> Clear Rules in Entire Sheet ... as I said is only a guess.
I would be happy to find out if I could help.

I started getting this warning when I created a recursive Lambda function. The recursive Lambda works fine. I'm the only one who has ever touched the workbook, and I know for a fact that it does not contain any external linkages. There's no conditional formatting, copied or otherwise.
I think it's just a spurious warning -- maybe it's supposed to warn about using a recursive Lambda, but the wrong message is displayed.
I just ignore the message.
