Issue with links in Excel

Hello everyone,

I am facing some issues while using Link option in Insert tab in Office 365 Excel.

When I link a cell to any external file, if I move or even copy any of the two files (Excel file & the external file), the link stops working.

Please let me know if anyone found a way around this.

Regards,

Aman

    To keep links working it is best to open both files in Excel and use SaveAs to save them elsewhere or save using a different name. If you use that, the links update automatically to the new names and/or locations. Save the file that contains the links last.
