    edit links csv not found

    Hello, I have a sheet where I need to open 3 sources through edit links. Once open these update all the values in the sheet. When I go to edit links--> open source, it cannot be found. If I try and rewrite the path by using change source, I still cannot find it because they are CSV, and it is only giving me xls options.

    Why is this the case, and this sheet works on my bosses computer. I can also navigate to those csv files independent of the edit links option, so I know I have access.

    Re: edit links csv not found

    There are no "Cells" in a CSV, thus no cell addresses. Excel cannot link to a CSV as it is a text file, it must link to an Excel format document. Convert your CSVs to XLS and the issues will go away.
