Linking cells to another workbook

Hello,

 

I'm need help with connecting cells.

I have cells in workbook 1 which will be updated once in a while and I want to see those cells in workbook 2. I tried with =workbookname!A1 but it doesn´t work.

 

Will be grateful for any help!

  • HeavenS , open both workbooks, in the cell of the second one type = and click by mouse on the cell you'd like to link in the first workbook. That's the easiest way to generate correct link.

      SergeiBaklan Thank you so much!

      Can I do the same quick way to linking workbook instead of cells?

      Or do I have to make hyperlink?

        HeavenS , if under the linking workbooks you mean to create the link, clicking on which you open another workbook - yes, hyperlink or on the ribbon Insert->Link->Insert Link and follow the menu.
