In this row definition, the Link to External Worksheet Req Linkcolumn links with the San Francisco and Beijing external worksheet files, and the Link to External Worksheet HQ Linkcolumn links with the Corporate Headquarters external worksheet file. In the previous tables, row 14 (the Compensation Expenserow) in the row definition links to row 15 (the Total Comprow) in the San Francisco and Beijing external worksheet files and row 5 (the Officers' Comprow) in the Corporate Headquarters external worksheet file. The San Francisco and Beijing spreadsheets each require only one link, because they have identical external worksheet files. The Corporate Headquarters spreadsheet requires a separate Linkcolumn because it has a different external worksheet file.
