    Populate cell value automatically between different tabs

    Hi All,

    I'm a newbie using Excel.
    I was trying to populate the cell value entered in one tab to a cell in another tab,
    but I couldn't make it happen.

    The first tab is 'Pricing' and 2nd is 'Populated Table',
    I define two cells in the 2nd tab like

    cell D5: =+Pricing!D3

    cell A2: =+Pricing!E1

    Very interesting cell D5 can be populated correctly, but not cell A2.
    It only shows '=+Pricing!E1' in the cell.
    The only different I see is cell 'A2 covers more than one columns.

    Can anyone shed some light how I can make it work correctly.

    Attached is the Excel I talked about.

    I'll appreciate any comments and suggestions.

    thanks in advance,

    -Tian

    1) Format the cell as GENERAL
    2) Then enter the formula, without the + symbols, unnecessary.
