how to link cells such as one cell with a date and an adjacent cell with data so that while I am rearranging the data in various ways the date that corresponds with the data stays with it as it moves around while I am sorting the data.
View 2 RepliesI have a workbook that uses the values that a user had entered into 3 cells to calculate multiple other charts/diagrams on multiple sheets within the workbook. Each sheet would show what the user had entered in the 3 cells to allow them to see what is being used to calculate each table. Is it possible to link these cells so that the user can change the 3 values without having to go back to where he originally entered the 3 values?
For example, a user has entered in 3 values in Sheet 1. A formula in Sheet 2 displays what is entered by the user and uses these calls in Sheet 2 for calculations. When the user wants to change the three values, he would have to navigate to Sheet 1 and enter in the new values to have the workbook recalculate all the tables. Is there a way to link the three cells from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 so when the user is on Sheet 2, he has the opportunity to change the values on the current Sheet without having to navigate to Sheet 1 to do so?
I'm wondering if there is a way of linking to cells by looking up part of the link in another cell. E.g.In Sheet1, cell A1, i have some data that I want link to from Sheet2. Normally I'd do that by using "=Sheet1!A1" in the cell in Sheet2.
But I'd like to lookup the "A1" part of the link from two different cells in Sheet 2. Something like: =Sheet1!(Text from B1 in Sheet2 AND Text from A2 in Sheet2)
or: =Sheet1!(Sheet2!B1&Sheet2!A2). So that if Sheet2!B1 would contain an "A", and Sheet2!A2 would contain a "1" the resulting link would be the correct "=Sheet1!A1"
how do I go about linking cells?
Example:
Lets say I have a workbook with 6 sheets on it and the sheets names are:
Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
Sheet4
Sheet5
Status
And we will just use cell A1 through sheet1 to sheet5 and the status sheet to grab the numbers from sheet 1 through sheet5
Sheet1 through sheet5 will have numbers in cells A1
Sheet1 : 586
Sheet2 : 436
Sheet3 : 621
Sheet4 : 610
Sheet5: 561
And in the status sheet I would like to find the highest number from these 5 sheets and put it in cell A1 status sheet and have it linkable like when it finds the highest number it will put it in cell A1 on the status sheet and when I click on the A1 cell in the status sheet I would like it to goto that sheet that has the highest number it found and maybe highlight it or something.
I need to have three rows link to each other. The first column cell A is a paste link and is always changing. The second B is a vlookup referenceing A and finding it in a changing table...the source for the paste link. C needs to follow the other two cells and remain "attached" to it. However, C has to be a cell that is hardcoded somewhere, meaning that C is not found in the source data and must be determined by a person. I have tried to link the sheets through vlookups and other formulas, however, this only works when the data is sorted and nothing new is added. I need a static sheet that can take in new values. I need to create some sort of relationship between the cells

These percentages are sorted in descending order and I need the names to move along with the adjacent cell as the percentages change. When i merge the cells things get really messy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA code that pulls a value from a single cell on a separate tab. Instead of just pulling the value (ex. 3.44589348) is there a way to have it pull the value as a link to the other tab? It still would display the number but if you click on the cell it would display =Sheet2!A1 (for example).

How about 3 cells?
Example:
Cells A1, A2 and A3 are all the same part number, but in diffrent catagories. If I used a part and reduce my number in A2 I want it to reflect the change in A1 and A3. The next day I use a part and reduce it in A1 and I want the new value to reflect in A2 and A3.
I can make it so A2 will equal A1, but if I was to update the value at A2 it overwrites the formula.
I am trying to link data from one workbook into another and get it to work but it puts in sample data or dates which I dont want. How can I set it up were the cells are blank until data is input in the main sheet and then linked to the destination sheet?

Not long ago i received this code (from Dave Hawley... thanks!) for a single cell referencing an entire column of cells.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 5 Then Worksheets(2).Range("B1") = Target
End Sub
...which worked great!
But I'm also using an Excel compatible handheld pocket PC version which does not support VBA. Sadly my options are very limited.
Is there an equivalent to typing " =Sheet1!A1 " in the formula bar, but that will allow for more than one cell, (or an entire column) to be referenced to a single cell?
I have a master tab that has data grouped as follows
Column 1
title of a section (written once then left blank for the rest of a section)
Column 2
numerous descriptors (each in a new row)
Column 3
The response to the descriptors in column 2
I want to link entire sections from column 2 and 3 into different excel files so that if I make changes to column 2 or 3 in the master tab, the changes are made to all tabs. If there is a way, I'd like it if I add a row to the master, it is automatically added to the others.
I am linking several cells in Sheet1 to other sheets throughout the workbook. Sheets2-10 to be exact. The problem is when no data is in a given cell in Sheet1 a '0' shows up on the linked cell in Sheet2-10. The problem is 0 can be a correct response sometimes and if 0 is always to show up someone is going to misunderstand the task.
I just want to stop blank entries from being linked over as 0. I have a ton of cells being linked and don't want to do conditional formatting on each individual cell. Is their any easy way to stop this?
I am working on a resource model for my company. Essentially it is a list of contractors in the company with their daily rates and start and end dates. I have attached a sample spreadsheet. As you can see, all the information has already been populated with the cost of each contractor per month (formula used - daily rate*18.8 [days worked per month]). Now what I need to do is make the spreadsheet dynamic so if for some reason a contractor end date is changed (contract terminated earlier or contract has been extended) it needs to be reflected on the cost per month columns.
As an example, on the first row the contract period is from Dec 08 to June 09. If it is decided the contractor is now only needed until Feb 09, I need to have that automatically updated so all the figures are deleted in the March, April, May and June columns. Second example, on the first row if the contract period is from Dec 08 to June 09. If it is decided the contractor is now needed until July 09, I need to have that automatically updated with his monthly cost assuming the contractor has worked full time for that month (18.8 days).
I would like to link two cells which are in different workbooks / Files. Now this is something I already know how to do, however there is complication and I am not sure if the following is possible. I would like to link these cells so that they stay linked even if the file name of the source cell changes. I am not sure if thats possible or how to go about it if it is. This sort of thing is possible (although a different concept) in the Solid Modeling program Solidworks. Often times assemblies are created using a number of files. When the filename of one subcomponent is changed, or the file is relocated the final assembly will no longer work. So a method has been created to automatically update the link if the file is moved or renamed.
I would like to be able to do this in excel. ( I should note that I was only using Solidworks as a reference, it really has nothing to do with what I want out of excel, the data will not have anything to do with solidworks or its files, it will be simple numbers letters and formulas that I wish to link between workbooks)
I have seen alot of questions about linking max and min values of axis on charts to cell values. But what i need is the opposite. I have a graph that will automatically change its max and min values for the axis, but what i need is to be able to have a cell show what these values are, so basically the reverse of what people normally want.

I have multiple workbook files using the same template but saved under different files names usually by date. I need to summarize the data in a summary worksheet that pulls the same cells from the various individual closed workbooks. I need to be able to insert the file's path as an input to pulling data from a cell or cells.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a list of names in the format "SURNAME, Firstname". By using left find and mid find formulas and then concatonating the result I can put the first name first and the surname after it in proper case. This works well for the most part (although if there is an easier way I'd be happy to hear it!) except for when it comes to people with double unhyphonated surnames - lets say for example Ella Van Hamburg.
The name would come through in the raw data as VAN HAMBURG, Ella When I separate the surname and change the case it says Van Hamburg But when I go to extract the first name I get the result HAMBURG, Ella And so when I concatonate: HAMBURG, Ella Van Hamburg. It works perfectly for everyone else, and with hyphonated surnames. I am then using this data in a VLOOKUP which means that the final result has to be in the leftmost column so at the moment that's just where I'm concatonating it.

I am trying to link a range of cells from one sheet that contain various dates to another sheet in the same workbook. Some of the cells are empty. I select the source cells (say, F8-F19), copy, select target worksheet, Paste Special (and select Paste Link button). Target cells display accurate date information that updates as source cells are changed, however, any source cells that were blank now read 1-Jan-04. I have checked to ensure that all source/target cells have the same formatting (Number-Date).
When trying to Paste Special values and/or number formats only, the option to Paste Link is no longer available. How can I link the cells so that blank source cells result in blank target cells? Issue seems similar to: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...worksheet.html
I’m having problems linking data from various worksheets to one master worksheet, all in the same workbook. The workbook contains swimmers PB’s (personal best times) for each stroke and after each gala the swimmers new time is entered onto the worksheet. The worksheet data is then sorted so that the fastest swimmer is at the top.
The master worksheet contains all swimmers by name (alphabetically) and their best times for each stroke, what I am trying to do is have the master worksheet update automatically when I enter the swimmers new PB’s in the individual stroke worksheets, this works when I use ’Paste Special’, but when I go to sort the data with the fastest swimmer at the top, the data in the master worksheet does not reflect the correct times.
I have a question and wanted to know if it was possibe and if so how. I wanted to link cells from one workbook to another (Which I know how to do) the problem im having is the linking works but why doesnt the cell color chang like it is in the workbook im linking from? Example: If A1 has text (Me) with the cell being green then the linked workbook would only have the text (Me) and not the green cell.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have values on master sheet and want to link those values to source documents in the same workbook. But the values on master sheets are made up of more than one value on another sheet.
For example on master sheet I have $137,000 that is made up of values in P7 + Q7 + P57 + Q57 on source sheet. If user wants to see where this number is coming from; the user will click the number to go to source document.
On a single valve I linked to the source sheet to a single cell. One thing I was thinking, using conditional format, so if one of the cells is selected in source document the other cells that combine the total of the master sheet cells should be highlighted, just my 2 cents.
I need to have a single combobox pull values from a very large term list (>40,000), and place selections in a single column in sequential cells (eg, B1, B2, B3, etc..). With the following code (credit to Ingolf and MickG) I am able to get the list to popluate cells in a column. However, I cannot seem to find the proper attributes to control the auto selection of items in list. I do want the autocomplete feature so the user can quickly navigate this huge list, but as soon as i start typing, it starts populating terms into the growing list. I would like to have the user actually select the item.

I want to link cells B1 thru B16 to Cells F1 thru F16 receptively.
However, at times I need B1 thru B16 to show other columns 1 thru 16.
I would like to type in the column designation in A1, ie. F,G,H,I.....and have the values of those columns shown in B1 thru B16.
I am looking for a code that will be able to link cells H9:I14 on Sheet 1 with cells H7:I12 on Sheet 2 of the same workbook so that if I change H9 on Sheet 1, H7 on Sheet 2 will show the same figure and alternatively if I change H7 on Sheet 2, H9 on Sheet 1 will show the same figure. If this could work for all 12 of the cells and their equivalents respectively.
Furthermore, If a blank column or row is inserted, hence the cells move, the link will remain useable.
I have plenty of different columns throughout the workbook where this needs to be done so I imagine I can just adjust the code as necessary to incorporate different cells.
