EXTERNCOUNT: Number of External References (16h)

The EXTERNCOUNT record specifies the number of externally referenced workbooks, DDE references, and OLE references contained in a Microsoft Excel workbook.

For example, a worksheet contains the following formulas in cells A1:A3:

=SALES.XLS!Profits

=Signal|System!Formats

=Signal|StockInfo!MSFT

This worksheet would have a value of 3 in the cxals field of the EXTERNCOUNT record, corresponding to the three external references SALES.XLS, Signal|System, and Signal|StockInfo.
