How to Find and Delete a Link in an Excel
Hi, My Excel Indicates It cannot update a link when I open it. I cant see any link in the Data links, so not sure where to find and delete the link.
The message says:
We cant connect to "https://LOCALS~1/Temp/DOCUME~1/........ and ends with .xls
Please help,
Ami

Another approach is using vba to remove broken links
Sub BreakLinks() Dim wb As Workbook Set wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook If Not IsEmpty(wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)) Then For Each link In wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) wb.BreakLink link, xlLinkTypeExcelLinks Next link End If End Sub

Find links (external references) in a workbook
Linking to other workbooks is a very common task in Excel, but sometimes you might find yourself with a workbook that has links you can’t find even though Excel tells you they exist. There is no automatic way to find all external references that are used in a workbook, however, there are several manual methods you can use to find them in this upper Link.

- AJFBlogCopper ContributorThanks. I’ve tried all those things but can’t seem to locate it. Seems that this is a link to a webpage, but I don’t see any hyper links.

If none of this worked, try Inquire and make a Workbook Analysis.
Analyze a workbook with Spreadsheet InquireHope I was able to help you with this info.
*Ps. If this not help too, then send the file (without sensitive data).
