I just recently started using this newsgroup so excuse
my ignorance but,
what is an excel MVP and how does a person obtain Most
Valuable Player in
regards to excel. Does microsft distinguish this?

Thanks

Hello.

I am looking for an MVP to repsond to this question -
no offense.

Here's the deal...

* I have 4 workbooks
* All workbooks are formatted exactly the same, that
is, they all contain
the same number and name of worksheets and the same
formulas.
* All of the workbooks are currently seperate files
and are not linked to
any other files (I'm not interested in linking or
consolidating)
* I want to be able to open all of the workbooks,
make a change to a cell
in one of the workbooks, and have that change reflect
in all of the
remaining
workbooks without making the change to each workbook
seperately (OK, I'm
lazy...), just like updating multiple worksheets
within one workbook.

So, for example, I create four workbooks, named Book1,
Book2, Book3, and
Book4. I open all of the workbooks. In Book1, cell
A1, I enter the
forumla
=1+1, Enter. I want to know how to make this sinlge
formula entry reflect
in
Book2, Book3, and Book4 without having to manually
either copy and paste
or
enter the formula in each workbook seperately (again,
I'm lazy, and I want
the expensive Excel product to do this work for me...).

I'm just not convinced that this can't be done, until
I hear it form a
MVP.
I'mnot really interested in a macro or VBA/VB code
fix, just want to know
if
there is a facility within the Excel product that can
accomplish this
task.
If an MVP tells me that it can be done, then I'll reat
easy, but not until
then.

Thnak you.

Markster
