Automatic update links to monthly file
Hello,
I have a file (named P04-2009) where the cells need to link to last month's file's cell (same cell) (file named P03-2009). How can I have a macro to automatically update cell to last monthly file automatically when I work on current month file? Thanks a lot Hank |

Automatic update links to monthly file
Hi
i have a solution other than macro: assuming that you are replicating the same file month on month (i.e. you copy the previous month file to work on current month) for one month you need to manually link the cells to previous month file (this is one time task) Using Edit links you can relink it to desired month file. to do this Go to Edit Links in the popup window u can see the number external workbooks linked to current workbook to relink it to proper file select the file you want to relink and then click change source, this action will open the file window now you can choose the desired file and then click ok. This feature automatically relink the references to desired workbook. regards rajesh "Hank" wrote: Hello, I have a file (named P04-2009) where the cells need to link to last month's file's cell (same cell) (file named P03-2009).
