Copy Past Values

I have several workbooks with as many as 35 - 40 worksheets.
Each workbook (And as many as 20 sheets from each workbook) Calls cells from
the previous months workbooks.
I would like to Copy Paste Values using as an example any cell in the
workbook that has 09-2009 in the Formula. The file name may be Sales -9-2009
or Loja 09-2009 and there are several others, However the 09-2009 is in the
filename for each workbook.
If I can do this I would be able to move or remove the older files from
their default directory.
 
Ed,

Try the macro below.

Sub CutLinks()
Dim myStr As String
Dim myS As Worksheet
Dim myC As Range

myStr = "09-2009"

For Each myS In Worksheets
FindAgain:
Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(myStr, , xlFormulas, xlPart)
If Not myC Is Nothing Then
myC.Value = myC.Value
GoTo FindAgain
End If
Next myS

End Sub
 
Nothing at all happens.
I added a watch for myStr and no values shows.
Ran it in a workbook that has about 500 links.

I also added watches for myS and myC no values at all.

Ed,

It worked perfectly for me.
Is the workbook with the links the active workbook at the time that you are running the macro?
Are you sure that the filename includes the exact string "09-2009" and not some variant on that,
like "09- 2009"?

Ed,

It may be one of your search settings is interfering. Try changing to

Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(myStr, , xlFormulas, xlPart)

Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(What:=myStr, , LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

Had to remove the second , after myStr.
myStr shows correct but the myC and myS show nothing in the watch, however
the myS shows sheets as type and I can see it listing the sheets as
worksheet/sheet1, sheet2 and so on.
 
BTW I used a book that only has about 100 links this last time.
All my workbooks has spaces in the name I wonder if that could be the
problem. But it was listing sheets so maybe not.
 
Ed,

Select a cell with one of the links, press F2, press Shift-Home then Ctrl-C,
press Esc, and then paste the exact formula into a reply to this message.

This is one of them all links in this book are to the same book listed here.


='C:\Posto Pote\[July 2009.xls]31-07-09'!B4
 
Ed,

Maybe it is some event giving you problems....


This is my formula

='K:\Documents\Excel\Delete these\[July 2009.xls]31-07-09'!B4

and this macro converted it to a value - note that I now turn off events
prior to conversion.

Sub CutLinks2()
Dim myStr As String
Dim myS As Worksheet
Dim myC As Range

myStr = "July 2009"

Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each myS In Worksheets
FindAgain:
Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(What:=myStr, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

If Not myC Is Nothing Then
myC.Value = myC.Value
GoTo FindAgain
End If
Next myS
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
