Linking and errors Emma Hope 21.12.2005 10:52:02 Hi All, I have sixty odd spreadsheets (one for each staff member) that contain a lot of data spreadout over a number of tabs and cells. I have a single spreadsheet with sixty odd tabs that links all the data i require in a tidy format, however i have some problems. 1. A number of the linked cells after updating have #N/A in them, this is usually but not exclusively in the top seven linked cells from one particular field (Name). If i open the individual spreadsheets these #N/As disappear but opening this many large spreadsheets takes a long time. Is there a fix for this? 2. Additionally when updating the links, 2 of the 60 spreadsheets say 'cannot read file', these individual spreadsheets are the same as the other 58 and again the problem is fixed by actually opening the individual 2 spreadsheets but is a pain to do. Is there any advice on this? 3. The spreadsheet with the links is huge(!), i doubt it, but is there any way to shrink this down? Thanks Emma
