You can set links to other programs to be updated in the following ways: automatically, when you open the destination file; manually, when you want to see the previous data before updating with the new data from the source file; or when you specifically request the update, regardless of whether automatic or manual updating is turned on.
On the Data tab, in the Connections group, click Edit Links. Note: The Edit Links command is unavailable if your file does not contain links to other files. In the Source list, click the linked object that you want to update. An A in the Update column means that the link is automatic, and an M in the Update column means that the link is set to Manual update.
To update a linked object only when you click Update Values , click Manual. An A in the Update column means that the link will update automatically, and an M in the Update column means that the link must be updated manually.
Issue: I can't update the automatic links on my worksheet. The Automatic option can be overridden by the Update links to other documents Excel option. Under When calculating this workbook , make sure that the Update links to other documents check box is selected. Note: The Edit Links command is unavailable if your file does not contain linked information. Edit a linked object in the source program. In the Source file list, click the source for the linked object, and then click Open Source.
Edit an embedded object in the source program. If you are editing the object in place within the open program, click anywhere outside of the object to return to the destination file. If you edit the embedded object in the source program in a separate window, exit the source program to return to the destination file. Note: Double-clicking certain embedded objects, such as video and sound clips, plays the object instead of opening a program.
To edit one of these embedded objects, right-click the icon or object, point to object type Object for example, Media Clip Object , and then click Edit. Edit an embedded object in a program other than the source program.
To convert the embedded object to the type that you specify in the list, click Convert to. To open the embedded object as the type that you specify in the list without changing the embedded object type, click Activate. Click Special , select Objects , and then click OK. Point to Object or Chart Object , and then click Edit. Make sure that the source program is available If the source program is not installed on your computer, convert the object to the file format of a program that you do have installed.
Ensure that memory is adequate Make sure that you have enough memory to run the source program. Close other programs to free up memory, if necessary. Close all dialog boxes If the source program is running, make sure that it doesn't have any open dialog boxes. Switch to the source program, and close any open dialog boxes. Close the source file If the source file is a linked object, make sure that another user doesn't have it open. Ensure that the source file name has not changed If the source file that you want to edit is a linked object, make sure that it has the same name as it did when you created the link and that it has not been moved.
Select the linked object, and then click the Edit Links command in the Connections group on the Data tab to see the name of the source file. Contact your company support team and install latest updates before asking questions.
