    Post need 6 workbooks to connect an change value of a certian cell in each workbook

    Okay so I have done a little excel programing but I don't even know where to begin with this!!


    I have 6 workbooks and in each of them I need Cell "H13" to count up based on every time a button is pressed in the different workbooks..

    so every time the button is pressed within the 6 workbooks it needs to add 100 to the value in "H13" in all workbooks...

    I know this might sound confusing.. but any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)

    Aside from your Rules violation, we'd need to logistical answers such as if all six separate files are to be located in the same folder and what their names are.

    I'm thinking of something along the lines of:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    Be sure to back up all 6 documents before trying. This self-targets the document's folder to find the other workbooks.
    If it finds itself, it runs the calculation on itself, and then jumps to the next file.

    Re: need 6 workbooks to connect an change value of a certian cell in each workbook

    Thanks I got a loop without do error

    Ill try to give a little more info to help.

    I have a Folder name EQS and in the folder I have 6 excel workbooks (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5, Group 6) and the sheet im using is called Numbers in all of the workbooks.

    I want it so that when a button is pressed its adds 100 to the value that is in H13 in all workbooks

    so the H13 cell should have the same value at all times in all 6 workbooks...

    If someone could try to make a code using these credentials that would be very helpful! Thank you
