Is there a command / macro that can be run to unlink a file after it has been "refreshed" from excel

Clarification Request

There is a addin called "dellink.xla" that you can use to delete the link
(see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=188449), but if you need to keep the
results from the link, then you have to manually copy the cells, and paste
it as values, or use Excel 2002 or 2003 to remove the link.

Same Problem

Apr 28, 2009

-   I'm using Excel 2007 Data Connections as a source for data to use in a Pivot Table. The source data is another Excel file with multiple sheets. The source data is located on one of the sheets in the Excel source file that has a named range to identify the data source location on the source sheet.

I setup a data connection by pointing to the source file location and named range setup in the source file. The source file is open. I select the Data Connection as the data source for the pivot table. The data is imported successfully and the refresh function is working.

I then close the source file and the pivot table will no longer refresh. The pivot table can't find the data. The only thing that changed was to close the source file. I'm not understanding how the data connections work. Then I open the source file and the pivot table still won't refresh and has the same problem. -   PalmsWest
