How to reference an external workbook

This example demonstrates how to insert an external reference link from a workbook to another workbook.
An external workbook is created and populated with random data by importing a data table at runtime.
Subsequently the workbook is added to the ExternalWorkbookCollection.
A cell formula with a reference to an external workbook is inserted in the current worksheet. The worksheet is saved to .XLSX file and opened with an application registered for that file format.
