    Formula to change value of one cell from another cell

    Hi,

    I am a beginner with the functions in excel and wanted to know if it is possible to change the value of one cell with a formula written in another cell.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Can you just put another formula in the cell you want changed relative to the other formula with the formula you already have? I don't really understand what you are looking to do.
    If you can't figure out how a formula works, try stepping through it using "Evaluate Formula" in the Formula Auditing menu item in the tools menu!

    If you want to see where your code went wrong, try stepping through it by clicking in the code and pressing F8 and watch as the magic happens!

    Formulas can only displaythe information in the cell they are in

    To change the data in another cell you
    Need another formula in that cell
    or
    A macro
    or
    Manual enter the value

If you feel it's particularly relevant, provide a link to the other thread. It makes sense to have a new thread for your question because a thread with numerous replies can be off putting & difficult to pick out relevant replies.
