I have a spreed Sheet linked to another SS in a different Folder. In "My Computer" the linked Files work.... But If I send the ZIP (Folders and Files) to another computer the Folder Path Link gets Broken...

In my Origin The Formula says: =PROCV($D12;'C:\Users\user1\Documents\foldername1\example.xlsm'!$B$8:$N$77;10;);)

The path between the workbook and the lookup workbook is not the same on both computer. When I copy the File to another PC it's a different "user" so it doesn't work. How can I link them? What should I do?

Onemore Info: THe Folder Tree is always the same in the folders:

File 1= C:\Users\user1\Documents\foldername1\all.xls (Gets Info from File 2, 3 and 4)

File 2=C:\Users\user1\Documents\foldername1\folder1\example1.xls

File 3=C:\Users\user1\Documents\foldername1\folder2\example2.xls

File 4=C:\Users\user1\Documents\foldername1\folder3\example3.xls


Thank you in advance for your help!
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
The "Fix Path/Broken Link" is not a solution. I want something permanent!
