how to remove external links from excel
Hello,
I followed up with https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Excel/Remove-link/m-p/92442 and https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/953-excel-list-all-links.html
- installed Kutools, however I can not remove external links with that tool. I cnan ot find any links with search option " [ ".
Extarnal links still are there and when I open workbook, it every time asks me to update those links, which is very annoying and does not look proffessionals to clients...
The industry standard tool for links can be found here: FindLink

JKPieterse This is awesome! I struggled with mine for 2 days and never suspected Data Validation as the culprit. Thank you so much!!

- k lApr 26, 2018Copper ContributorI have the same problem. There is a link to an external file that the break-link command will not break. I have been through every thread I can find on the subject, including the FindLink utility, but to no avail.
It seems that there are some kinds of links that, once created, cannot be removed.- Kacper ModzelewskiApr 27, 2018Copper Contributor
Yeh, unfortunately ;/ I had to recreate all excel files .. no solution to that so far ..
