Cleaning objects, shapes and hyperlinks allows you to prepare Excel workbooks for reporting, analysis and data transformation processes. Whenever information is copied from websites, external systems or inherited spreadsheets, unnecessary elements are often carried into the workbook.
Most users focus only on visible data, but worksheets frequently contain hyperlinks, images, buttons, shapes or broken named ranges that make files harder to maintain and sometimes generate performance or reference issues.
Imagine this situation: you copy statistical information from a website into Excel. The table appears correct, but hidden behind the data are dozens of hyperlinks, shapes and objects that are no longer needed.
