Hi ?B?MDAxMw==?=,

This works fine except that in addition to the number, additional spaces are
also inserted. I can delete these, but they come back when I update the
link. So the sentence ends up looking like:
"Expenses in the Americas are xx%."

How do I get a link to just the number and not the extra spaces?

Are you absolutely sure these spaces aren't part of the cell entry in Excel?
I've never seen anything like you describe before, if a cell doesn't contain
spaces.
