MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / July 2006linked file not found
Hi, I cut pasted some data in workbook sheet A from another workbook sheet B and then deleted workbook B. When I click on the cell it refers to workbook B, in fact gives me the full path of the value. The file is no longer there. I cant find it using windows search on the whole disk. Does anyone have any idea, what is going on? TIA/amag It appears that you have only copied a link to the data, not the data itself. If you have not deleted the file from your RecycleBin, then restore it and then Copy > PasteSpecial > Values again to re-capture the data. hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > Hi, > I cut pasted some data in workbook sheet A from another workbook sheet [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > TIA/amag Tks for ur response ... I understand that I might have copied a link to the data but it should be referring to some file and capturing data from there. The problem is I cant find that file on the disk. -amag > It appears that you have only copied a link to the data, not the data itself. > If you have not deleted the file from your RecycleBin, then restore it and [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > TIA/amag When you delete the source of a link, you do not automatically delete all references to it......the source is gone....the link still exists............the only way to retrieve the original data is to get it from the old source if it's still alive in the recycle bin, or some other saved version somewhere.............
