Can someone tell me what it means when the cell link indicator is red?

Kelly Gabel

I have data linked to this sheet from another using the Data Mesh add on. Typically, this little cell indicator is blue but on some of my rows, it's red.

Could that have anything to do with how long it has been since data was updated?

Kelly Gabel

@Ayelet Weiner yes, and actually this is resolved. As I dug deeper, I learned that someone deleted the source rows in this data mesh. That is why the link was red. Thanks!

It means the link is broken in some way. You are going to have to recreate the link.

Kelly Gabel

@Paul Newcome well that's a bummer! so that I guess that means I need to rebuild my Data Mesh and delete the old? I'll give that a try. Thanks!

@Kelly Gabel - In your DataMesh configuration, is the Data Mapping Format set to create cell links?

Kelly Gabel

@Ayelet Weiner yes, and actually this is resolved. As I dug deeper, I learned that someone deleted the source rows in this data mesh. That is why the link was red. Thanks!

Ahh, glad you figured it out!
