I have a file linked to another.

Nothing fancy, 3 rows 4 columns in columns D-G with the formula
Code:
='F:\[Historic costs.xlsb]Historic costs'!B14
copied down and across.

When I open the file (with the source closed) the data in columns D,E and G are fine, but the links in col F have a #DIV/0 error.

The source data is pasted as values.

I know I can stop it updating the links but what is going on?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
