Breaking links

Is there a way of breaking formula links so the data remains static, can this be done? thank you

RE: breaking links

Hi Harriet,

Thank you for the forum question.

If it linked between workbooks you can break the links on the DATA tab in the CONNECTIONS group EDIT LINKS.

If it is linked inside the same sheet or workbook you can copy the formulas and paste them in the same range as you copied them and on the PASTE OPTION list click values. Then Excel will paste only the values and break all the links to linked cells, but this will also remove your formulas.

I hope this can help you.



Kind regards

Thank you very much

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
