How do you link a cell to another cell in a different workbook?
for example:
Book1 Sheet1 cell A1 to Book2 Sheet2 cell A2
How do you link a cell to another cell in a different workbook?
for example:
Book1 Sheet1 cell A1 to Book2 Sheet2 cell A2
Hi Jacob

Hi Jacob
Apologies, I didn't read the question correctly
Try
=[Workbook2.xls]Sheet2!A2

what if the range is undertermined?
=[Workbook2.xls]Sheet2!(column A until the last record)
thanks.

Hi
There are many ways of creating named dynamic ranges.
e.g
myrange=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A$1:$A$1000),12)
This would give a 12 column range, with length determined by the number of
rows containing values in column A, between 1 and 1000 in this case. This
assumes that there are no gaps in the data in column A.
Then change the formula to
=[Workbooks2.xls]Sheet2!myrange

How can open my master template workbook and have the information from 3
separate workbook sheets load into my master workbook.
I have three Reports that I poll everyday with Crystal Reports. These 3
reports are then exported into excel as 3 separate workbook sheets.
I now have them linked to my master template workbook with special paste
links.
Problem is that I have to have all 4 books open for the information to
update in master book.
I need it to just automatically link the information or copy the sheets over
to mastertemplate daily.
How can this be achieved? The needs to be a simplier way to do this. To
had to try my staff. Too many different reports to work with.

Hi Fabiano. Did you ever figure out how to do this? I am trying to do
something similar. Also, how did you get the separate workbook sheets to
load into your master workbook?

Hi
Copy the cells from the sheet or workbook that you have the data in, to the
cells that you want them to appear in the master workbook.
To do this you have to copy the cell or cells and then do a (paste special)
and pick(paste link) this will refference the cell or cells to your master
workbook.
Once you have done this you can link your other work books from the master
workbook by picking Edit and then link and the pick your source files.
To update the master choose open
Highlight the ones that you want to link and use open source.
Hope this helps you out
