This just happened to me for the first time. I have many thousands of hyperlinks on this workbook. The workbook contains approx 150 sheets and most are linked to various separate workbooks. Literally, over 100,000 links some with real-time streaming data.

Been using this workbook for almost a year now, and suddenly all the links stopped working. Discovered that all the hyperlink paths that were directed to the "my documents" folder had been redirected to;

users\dell\appdata\roaming\microsoft\excel........

Now I don't know that I necessarily have a problem with the reference, just that it randomly changed on me. Anyone know what's going on or if microsoft is addressing the issue? I've heard of this happening to many other people.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
