Find Broken Links for Microsoft Excel

Chain your linked files down

Let's imagine your manager keeps a summary workbook with product details and prices. This summary book has links to multiple different workbooks stored on a company's server or in the shared folders on employees' computers. When cell values change in these source spreadsheets, Excel automatically updates values in the manager's master table when it is opened.

The information pulled from other sources is important for tracking the employees' performance, calculating totals or making up reports. If the company migrates to another server, or if someone deletes, moves or renames their file, the report will not be compiled because formulas in the main table will try to use broken links to the source worksheets.

That's when Find Broken Links for Excel goes on the stage to ensure that your linking data refer to the valid files.

Find and fix weak links in your Excel tables

There can be hundreds of external references in your table. You need to see if they all are valid and fix the broken links in Excel. One of the questions you may have is HOW? You can play with the question for a while or you can use the Find Broken Links add-in: just open the linking workbook -> start the plug-in and click the Find links button.

Voila! All your links are accurately displayed on the pane where you can easily see the location, file and folder they refer to, navigate to the linking cells in your table or open the linked source.
