XL3RefreshConnections( RunRefresh, ConnectionID1, [ConnectionID2],…, [ConnectionID16] )
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| RunRefresh | Should the refresh fire. This should be a reference to another cell that contains TRUE or FALSE. Once the refresh fires that cell will be reset to FALSE. Use XL3Link to set the cell to true, causing a refresh. |
| ConnectionID1,…,ConnectionID16 | Number. Connection to refresh. |
Example
This example assumes you are using cell $A$1 to hold the RunRefresh variable. We will refresh just Connection 1.
First, create the XL3RefreshConnections, as follows:
=XL3RefreshConnections($A$1, 1)
Next set up the link to fire the refresh, as follows:
=XL3Link(XL3Address($A$1),"Refresh All",,XL3Address($A$1),TRUE)
Now clicking the hyperlink will refresh all grids/small multiples/etc connected to connection 1 in the workbook.
