Within the Settings tab, a Regular Expression can be set for precisely placing links in the copied text - whether at the beginning of a line, end of a line, or replacing existing text. The plugin provides four primary commands:Ĭarry Forward: Copy selection with each line linked to its copied sourceĬarry Forward: Copy selection with first line linked to its copied source This can be useful, for example, when using note-taking methods like Bullet Journaling, which involve periodically moving tasks forward from past days' notes into the current day's note.įor changes in each release, please check the releases page: Copying text from one note with automatically-added links back to the where the text was copied from.

Also, workbook filenames that contain spaces will trip up the INDIRECT formula.Copy text from a note, linking back to its copied source, or copy a link to a note block. First of all, you need to manually open the file that is the target of the link Excel won't do it for you as it would with a regular link. There are a couple of "gottchas," however. You could put the name of the source file (2020JuneB.xls) in a cell in the current worksheet (D5, for example) and replace the above expression with one like this:Ĭhanging the contents of cell D5 to a different filename will make that file the new source of data. For instance, suppose that your link is something like this: If you want to make your linking strategy more flexible, you can always use the INDIRECT function. 
(Excel won't allow you to open multiple workbooks with the same name.) You could work with them independently, as long as you don't try to open the same workbook from both months at the same time. You would then have duplicate copies of the workbooks in separate folders. Under this scenario, you could have a June folder, and then make a copy of the whole folder and name it July. In other words, don't have the filenames reflect the month, but put all the workbooks for the month in a single folder that is named after the month.

If saving the files under new names in Excel is not possible for some reason (perhaps someone else already made a copy of the workbook for the new month and made changes in the file) then you will need to resort to doing some manual editing of the links. When you then save 2020JulyA.xls (step 3), you complete the cycle and end up with the new workbooks for the new month, with the past month's files still secure on disk.

A simpler way is to bypass Windows and do the saving in Excel. This, however, is the way to guarantee that you do the most work in updating the files. To prepare workbooks for the new month, most people will open a Windows folder and copy the workbook files within Windows, not even in Excel.
#Copied links update#
When it comes time to copy the workbooks for the new month, you may be wondering about the best way to update all the links in the first workbook so they point to the second workbook for the new month. Let's say you have two workbooks that you use for tracking sales in the current month, 2020JuneA.xls and 2020JuneB.xls, and that 2020JuneA.xls contains links to data in 2020JuneB.xls.
