Find external data
I have a workbook that prompts me about external data everytime i save
it. There should be no external data. How do I find and remove these sources? It may be the result of moving sheets from one workbook to another, I have attempted to update all formulas to reference only sources in the current workbook. I just find and replaced [old workbook] with nothing. I still get the pesky prompt. thanks -Josh |

Find external data
one way to find formulas with external references is to use find and search
for "[" which is used in the external reference formula " wrote: I have a workbook that prompts me about external data everytime i save it. There should be no external data.

Maybe Bill Manville's FindLink program can help you find the problem link(s):

Find external data
Thanks, I have tried the search for "[" with no luck, I also tried
the findlink program with no luck. What about data imported from the web? is there a way to determine any such import? or what if the import is coming from a named range? (i have many named ranges, some of which i am not sure what they do since other people have contributed to the workbook). Any further thoughts?

Find external data
Actually, that was it... There was a reference in a named range (or
rather a #ref!) They were probably reminants of a past functions which are no longer needed. Thanks for the help.

Didn't Bill Manville's program find that?
