Default Deleting old links

I use Excel in Office OS X on an iMac.
I have changed the links in a formula in a worksheet dependent on another
worksheet in the same workbook.
The change works OK but I would like to delete the old links in the
EditLinks dialog box as I have made several updates to the link and all the
old ones stay visible. I have been unable to do this and cannot find
guidance in Excel Help
Also I cannot change the Automatic Update button in this dialog box to the
Manual Update button. The status of all the Links remain at A
I have tried to override this by choosing PreferencesCalculation and
unchecking the Update Remote Reference. However, this is command is
checked and greyed, so is unaccessible.
Would appreciate any help

Default Deleting old links

Hi,

I found an alternative way to delete the links.
After having created the new links, just click the old ones/change source and then go to the new source again.
Since the system will find two source that are the same, it will just keep one and delete the other.

Hope this helps

Alex
