Operation possible?

Copper Contributor

Hello,
is this operation possible?
1. We have 2 different excel
2. An excel has a cell that contains a number
3. That number I would like to appear in the 2nd excel in another cell
4. If I change the number in the first excel, I would like it to change automatically in excel 2 as well

is there a solution to this operation?

@Recordmediapro Just one of many on-line sources that might answer your question.

@Recordmediapro ,,

 

If I'm not wrong, you are looking to link cells between Sheets! The simplest is in Sheet 2, enter formula like this,

=Sheet1!$A$1

 

If is between two wordbooks then,

 

[YourFile Name with Extension]Sheet1!$A$1

For example [Myfile.xlsm]Sheet1!$A$1

If you are try to link the closed Workbook then you have to use File path also.

='C:\Users\Folder\[MyFile.xlsm]Sheet1'!$A$1

Rememer in File path, Drive & Folder name may vary.

 

After that if and when you update cell A1 in Sheet 1, then Excel will automatically update the linked cell in Sheet 2.

 

You may use a formula even like,,  

=SUM(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10)

 

Another is PASTE Link,,,

  • Copy the cell in Sheet 1, then go to Sheet 2.
  • Use Paste Special,, and hit the Paste Link button.
