Hello everybody,

We all know we can change the source of a link of the workbook by clicking Edit>Links>Source>change source but that will change the source of all workbook formulas which are linked to a certain file, what about if i need to change the source of a single sheet? is this possible?

I appreciate your support.Thank you !

Why does find and replace not work?

Example:
On Sheet1 in Cell A1 Formula is: =[book1.xls]Sheet1!$A$1
On Sheet2 in Cell A1 Formula is: =[book1.xls]Sheet1!$A$1

Now, On Sheet 2 we "Find" Book1.xls and "Replace" Book2.xls

Result is:
On Sheet1 in Cell A1 Formula is: =[book1.xls]Sheet1!$A$1
On Sheet2 in Cell A1 Formula is: =[book2.xls]Sheet1!$A$1

The link on sheet2 has been successfully changed, and the link on Sheet1 is not altered.
