    How can I create a horizontal link to a vertical cells in another work sheet?

    How can I create a horizontal link to a vertical cells in another work sheet?

    I have sheet A and sheet B.

    Sheet B has a column.
    I want this to create a link to Sheet B in Sheet A - I can do this for individual cells, by doing:

    =SheetB!A1

    for example.

    But: how do I copy one column and and apply it a row in the other spreadsheet?

    I've read up, and can do this for values by using 'Past Special' and choosing 'Transpose'.

    I don't cant to copy just the values: I want to create a link, so that if cells change in SheetB, then they change in SheetA.

    Apart from doing this manually: I can't figure out how else to do it.

    Thanks.

    paste special /formulas/ transpose
    formulas must be in format =Sheet3!$B$9 to keep cell referencing

    hmmm been there done that. not working.

    the cells i want to copy have formulas in the them.
    when i do: special past -> formulas -> transpose...
    all that happens is that the formula in the cells get copied.

    i wasnt too sure what u mean when u said:

    "formulas must be in format =Sheet3!$B$9 to keep cell referencing"

    in the second sheet, the formulas in the cells i want to have reference to have simple formulas like =a5*b5.

    let me know if u can help further.

    thanks.

    there are probably lots of clever ways but
    open this sheet and from it
    to save time create a custom list
    tools /options /custom list
    click in import list from cells
    click on column a
    click import
    now if you put sheetx!$a$1 in a1 and then drag down
    it will increment
    sheetx!$a$1
    sheetx!$b$1
    sheetx!$c$1
    sheetx!$d$1
    sheetx!$e$1

    you can then use find and replace to create your formula
    eg find sheetx
    replace
    ='my sheet name'
    or
    =sheet2
    and so on
    ugly but it works
