HI

iam looking for a way to open .xlsb files in a folder one by one and then rename or update its links as .xlsb.

For example if "C:\FINAL ANSWER\edit.xlsb" file has links as ='C:\FINAL ANSWER\MAIN VALUES.xlsx!L30' then the code
should be able to rename that link as ='C:\FINAL ANSWER\MAIN VALUES.xlsb!L30'.
Each folder has many workbooks with various sheets in it so the macro should be able to search in every workbook and every sheets with the links .xlsx and replace it with .xlsb as explained above.
Thanks

Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
