    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Re: Work book link to other work book

    I can find away to attach the file but what I am trying to do is I have 9 different workbooks that contain costing sheets ie work book 1 would be for carpet workbook 2 would be for vinyl at the top of each costing sheet on left hand side so cells a1-a7 would before customers address phone number etc what I want to do is setup a customer workbook that contains customer details that I can link to each castings workbook so that there name and address would automatically fill in by say typing there name in cell a1 does that make sense or do you have any ideas how to attach file as my ipad will only let me attach a photo

    Re: Work book link to other work book

    Have you considered having all the data in 1 workbook? or at least, all the products in 1 WB?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Re: Work book link to other work book

    vlookup or index match will probably work for you (they work exactly the same on different workbooks as for different sheets in the same WB), but without seeing a sample of what you are working with, its hard to put anything together for you

    Re: Work book link to other work book

    I wish I could find away as I am fairly sure there is a simple solution using VLOOKUP I have a good idea of the formular I should use but it seams to set a number of cells to work with as the one work book will have an ever increasing number of address added to it
