I have a Excel spreadsheet with links to an MS Project file created by using "Paste Special" and the "Paste Link" option. The resulting formula in excel looks something like this:

{=MSProject.Project.9|'\\server\path\filename.mpp'!\LINK_3}

So... I have a couple of questions:

1) Why does it look like an array formula with the braces?
2) Is there a way to trace back where "LINK_3" is located in the Project file?

Thanks for thinking about it!
