hyperlink - Excel "Don't update links" not working. I specifically tell Excel not to update my links, and it does it anyway, giving me an the #VALUE! error -
i have spreadsheet uses offset function in several cells.
it refers date in spreadsheet.
when open file, don't want excel update links instead keep values. click "don't update", anyway giving me value! error.
same thing happens on different computers. how stop this?
thanks!
for reason, offset
requires workbook open. many offset formulas can changed index
function not have same restrictions
=offset('c:\...\[main database.xlsx]technical'!$s481, (row(b14) -1)*1,0)
would re-written as
=index('c:\...\[main database.xlsx]technical'!$s:$s, (row(b14) -1)*1+481)
(path removed avoid scroll bars when looking @ solution)
the cell changed column reference: $s481
-> $s:$s
previous cell row added index: (row(b14) -1)*1
-> (row(b14) -1)*1 + 481
column not needed, have 0
if have 3rd or 4th parameter offset function index not work, add sheet has simple ='c:\...\[main database.xlsx]technical'!a1
(and other cells needed referenced) , reference sheet offset, instead of original workbook
