Hi!
This seems pretty new with Excel 365. Whenever I have formulas looking at other files, Excel explicitly puts the full file path (not just the file name as previously) into formulas. For files on SharePoint or in reasonable subfolders, this file path can easily cover the largest part of one line of formula. This creates two problems:
1) The formulas are hardly legible
2) When you send/move the two files in question which are meant to work together, those explicit paths breaks their connection
While I appreciate that it can be useful in some situation, it is certainly not in others. So I am looking for a way to avoid it. I have even tried search/replace to get rid of the path, but it was regenerated right away (in that case to the wrong path even).
Any idea?
Thanks
