Hi, I need your help breaking the links in my workbook. I go to data + edit links and do break but it doesn't break! Also before doing this I would like to check on the formulas that have these links! I've searched in the workbook through formulas .xl but excel displays it can't find it

I would like to know if it is possible to link a pdf file into excel while also have it open to a specific page. Hyperlinks do not work because the links break when I email my excel file with all the links. The only other option I know is to embed the pdf file but I do not know how to make it open to a desired page. Any help appreciated.

I have an Excel file that, when opened, said it is unable to open certain files that are linked to my file. However, my file contains absolutely zero links that I use. I am unsure where these links exist in the file but when I go to edit links and break them, nothing happens. I believe that the file I am using started as template that may have used links and perhaps that is why that prompt exists but the file I current work in does not use any links and I should not be getting prompted about links when I open it like when it says "We can't update some of the links in your workbook right now."
