I have 10 excel files that contain a table with many columns and many rows and that need to be updated frequently with new data. In order to have a faster record of some data from these files, I created a separate excel file that centralizes them all 10 files by external pivot table data and with automatic refresh when it is opened. The problem came when I encrypted the 10 files by password so I can access them only. When I open the pivot table file it gives me an error because it cannot find the source files anymore. Can anyone help me please?

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
