Hello.

I have a file with multiple links to other files.
Main files is on drive G, all source files are on drive G.
In above situation all links lead to drive G.

But when I copy the same main file do trive C and open it from drive C all of a sudden all links lead to drive C.

Why?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
