Remove Outbound Links to Unknown sheet?

Matt Cochran
edited 12/09/19 inArchived 2015 Posts

Hi, i changed some sheets around in a workspace and ended up with a bunch of outbound links to unknown pages.

is there a way to remove all outbound links to unknown? or am i stuck going one cell at a time and deleting?

thanks

  • Hi Matt -

    If the target sheet was deleted, you could undelete the sheet (click Home > Deleted Items, right-click the sheet to Undelete) and then bulk remove the links from the target sheet. To bulk remove the links, multi-select the cells (hold Ctrl on a PC or command on a Mac and then click the cells), right-click the selection, and click Remove Link.

    If you run into any troubles with this, feel free to reach out to our Support team at[email protected]

    Thanks,

    Sonia

  • Hi, I have a LOT of cells that have these in them in a single spreadsheet, and its going to be very tedious to remove all of them one at a time. I dont know the name of the original file they were linked to, and just want to globally remove them all. Is there a way to do that?

    Craig,

    Please post an enhancement request here:

    These older posts are likely unmonitored. The Community Managers get promoted and/or move on and whether anyone at Smartsheet catches an update seems to be hit or miss.

    Smartsheet has made a small improvement here. If the source sheet is deleted, the Link In arrow is now red. A valid Link In will be blue.

    You can select multiple cells at once and remove the inbound links using the right-click menu, but there is not (yet) a "remove only invalid links" option. That means when you remove the links in a range, all of the inbound links are removed (outbound links are not removed).

    There is no way in the GUI to remove all invalid links in one or more sheets.

    See my comment here:

    There is now a way to delete the references.

Hi there,<\/p>

I think this should work:<\/p>

=IF(COUNTIF(Referencia:Referencia, Referencia@row) > 1, 1)<\/p>

Have a great day.<\/p>

@BArmendariz<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

You will need to write a nested IF function to deal with the levels of hierarchy in your RAG column.<\/p>

You will have 1 set of IF's to deal with the Child Rows (usually based on Date and % complete etc)<\/p>

Then another set of IF's to deal with Parent Rows (usually based on if there is a Red ball in the children then the parent is red, if there is a yellow one, then parent is yellow etc)<\/p>

If the Project level (row1) logic needs to be different then a set of IF's for that will also be required.<\/p>

For example:<\/p>

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Blue\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Blue\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Green\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Green\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Red\") > 0, \"Red\", \"Yellow\"))), IF([% Complete]@row = 1, \"Green\", IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), \"Red\", IF([% Complete]@row = 0, \"Blue\", \"Yellow\"))))<\/p>


<\/p>

The first half of this is dealing with Parent Rows:<\/p>

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Blue\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Blue\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Green\") = COUNT(CHILDREN()), \"Green\", IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), \"Red\") > 0, \"Red\", \"Yellow\")))<\/p>

The opening condition: =IF(COUNT(CHILDREN([Task Name]@row)) > 0, is asking if there are any children (i.e. is this a Parent row) then this particular formula is then saying if it is a parent row then, if all the children are Blue then the Parent is also Blue, if all the children are Green then the Parent is also Green, if ANY of the children are Red then the Parent is also Red, or for anything else the Parent is Yellow.<\/p>

The second half is child rows:<\/p>

, IF([% Complete]@row = 1, \"Green\", IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), \"Red\", IF([% Complete]@row = 0, \"Blue\", \"Yellow\"))))<\/p>

If the row is NOT a parent row then if % Complete = 100% then Green, if the row is Overdue then Red, if the % Complete is still 0 then Blue otherwise it is set to Yellow.<\/p>

I hope this helps...<\/p>

Kind regards<\/p>

Hi @sawuzie<\/a> <\/p>


<\/p>

There's no direct way to do this. However, you can add a checkbox helper column to identify duplicates. You can use the formula =IF(COUNTIF([Cells Linked from TE Tracker]:[Cells Linked from TE Tracker], [Cells Linked from TE Tracker]@row) > 1, 1, 0). This will add a check in the duplicates column for all values which appear more than once. You can then add the Distinct column with the formula =IF([Duplicate]@row=0, [Cells Linked from TE Tracker]@row). The Distinct column will only have the distinct values listed.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&siteSectionID=0&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending Posts","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
