Hi all,

Im trying to get the workbook links locations listed into my workbook. I have the following that works okay but would like to amend so that it lists them in the summary tab starting in K31 rather than a new workbook. Is there a quick edit that could be made to achieve this?

VBA Code:
Sub ListLinks()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook
If Not IsEmpty(wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)) Then
wb.Sheets.Add
xIndex = 1
For Each link In wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
Application.ActiveSheet.Cells(xIndex, 1).Value = link
xIndex = xIndex + 1
Next link
End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I just commented out the parts you don't need. If you decide to add it back so that it adds the sheets, you will need to explicitly reference the page where you paste all the links instead of using "ActiveSheet" (I was lazy).

VBA Code:
Sub ListLinks()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim myLinks
    Set wb = Application.ActiveWorkbook
    If Not IsEmpty(wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)) Then
        'wb.Sheets.Add
        'xIndex = 1
        'For Each link In wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
            'Application.ActiveSheet.Cells(xIndex, 1).Value = link
            'xIndex = xIndex + 1
        'Next link
        myLinks = wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
        ActiveSheet.Range("K31").Resize(UBound(myLinks)).Value = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(myLinks)
    End If
End Sub

This is exactly what I was looking for - thank you
