    Question Cannot find linked workbooks found via Workbook Analysis (Inquire tab)

    Hello,

    There are two workbook links that are hidden in my Excel 2013 Excel file. I believe they are causing Excel to crash as they try to access a network folder I don't have access to. The only way I know the links exist is through the Inquire tab, using the Workbook Analysis tool (see screenshot below). The problem is that Workbook Analysis doesn't tell me the location of the links so I don't know how to remove them. I have tried the following:searched in Name Manager (don't have any named ranges listed there), reviewed all conditional formatting (don't see any references to external files), used CTRL+F in formulas for "[", ".xl" (no luck), opened Workbook Connections window in the Data tab (no connections visible), tried to

    Thank you very much for your assistance.

    check:
    • conditional formatting
    • data validation
    • name manager

    No luck. I checked conditional formatting in all worksheets as well as data validation, but nothing I can find references another workbook. Name Manager shows there are no named ranges in the workbook... Any other ideas?
