Updating Linked Workbooks

**Updating Linked Workbooks** ensures that the destination workbook reflects any changes made in the source workbook. This feature is especially useful for maintaining data consistency across multiple files.

Steps to Update Linked Workbooks

  • Step 1: Open both the source and destination workbooks.
  • Step 2: Ensure the source workbook has the latest data.
  • Step 3: In the destination workbook, go to DataRefresh All to update links.
  • Step 4: The destination workbook will now display the updated data from the source workbook.
