Excel online broke link with another Excel file

Hello, The Excel file suddenly broke the link with another Excel file that works as a database, both files are on my PC. When I try to fix the link, it worked on the file I have on my PC, but it doesn´t work at the online file. Please help.

  • To troubleshoot broken links in Excel, follow these steps:

    1. Check link status and update links by opening the Excel file on your PC.
    2. Verify the online file path and ensure the file has not been moved or renamed.
    3. Check for permissions, save both files locally, and ensure they are in compatible formats.
    4. Recreate the link if necessary.
    5. Check Excel Online limitations and re-upload the corrected file to the online location.
    6. Clear the Excel cache and check for updates. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Support for further guidance.
