    Formulas move when cutting and pasting workbooks

    Hi all,

    I've set up a spreadsheet structure at work which is three workbooks linked together.

    I created this initially within My documents saved locally to my machine. Now though, I need to move the folder containing these workbooks onto the server to be accessed by others. My problem is that when cutting and pasting the folder, the formulas within the three spreadsheets still refer to their original location within My Documents rather than following the folder to their new location.

    Does anyone know a way around this.

    Many thanks,

    Jason

    Data > Edit Links > (Select Workbook) > Change Source
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Obviously it will not..
    as your worksheet and you formula have no control over the external computer environment....

    Open all of the files, and then save then all to te new location. Save the data WB's 1st, then save the Master WB/s. They should then all be saved with the new links. Just to be on the safe side (to make sure they all saved with the correct linking) save them all again
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
