How do you search for broken Excel links on a server? (#REF!)
I am consolidating servers and want to be able to identify any broken links
in Excel by searching for #REF! in the broken formula. Is there a way to search for this in Excel files without purchasing third party software? |

How do you search for broken Excel links on a server? (#REF!)
You could write your own code to search through lots of stuff or ...
You may want to get Jan Karel Pieterse's (with Charles Williams and Matthew Henson) Name Manager: You can find it at: NameManager.Zip from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/mvp There's an option to look for only the links with errors.
