I am facing a strange problem in MS EXCEL. Whenever I open worksheets that
are linked to other worksheets, I get a message "This workbook contains one
or more links that cannot be updated" and I get 2 options i.e. "Continue" &
"Edit Links".

However, once I select "Continue" ( since all my linked worksheets are on
its place), the file gets updated without making any changes in the linked
worksheets.

What could be the cause for this problem & what can be the solution ? Pls
provide the same as soon as possible.

When u get that prompt click Edit links | check all the links
supporting your workbook & any error in status ????

Try this
Edit | link | click startup prompt | choose the second option | ok |
close

The problem is probably that your workbooks have been moved, renamed,
or deleted. Or worksheets in those workbooks. Or, you have a cell or
two that have typos.

You can try updating links to the proper workbooks, or finding typos.

Or, muddan suggested turning off the warning. But that won't help if
you actually have links that aren't working and you need them to work.

Hi,

My worksheet has a very high number of links.

Is there any other possible way by which the problem can be resolved ?

There is no way for Excel to determine what is wrong with a link. You
have to look at the references to other files yourself, so it may be
time-consuming, especially if the problem is typos.

If there are several links that are all to one file that has been
moved or renamed, you can use the Find/Replace command to easily fix
all of those links at the same time. Or the Edit Links: Change Source
command would probably be faster.

This is not always the case. Of course when there is a link that doesn't
work I would expect to receive the error message. However, I have also
clicked on "Edit Links" for some files and found that the window reports that
all links are "Ok."
