    Linking columns

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to make a new excel worksheet based on some kind of "database".

    The database is also an excel worksheet with in column A batchnumbers.

    I would like to link this column to my worksheet.
    So if anything is added, deleted or changed that it also changes in my worksheet.

    So the simple "=" doesn't work.

    Anyone knows how to do this?

    Edit:

    Added attachements; Excel 2 is the source, excel 1 is the new one.
    In excel 1 column A it should display the data that is in column A in excel 2.

    When data is added, deleted or changed in excel 2 it should also change in excel 1.

    If both worksheets are in the same workbook then you could populate column A of the new worksheet using: =INDIRECT("Tabelle1!A"&ROW())
    If the worksheets are in different workbooks and the source workbook is open then: =INDIRECT("'[2.xlsx]Tabelle1'!A"&ROW())
    (Untested) If the source workbook is closed then the path needs to be included as in: =INDIRECT("'C:\Source\[2.xlsx]Tabelle1'!A"&ROW())
    This will generate zeros when the referenced cells are empty. The zeros may be hidden using conditional formatting as in Cells that contain > cell value = 0 > font > white
    Let us know if you have any questions.
