If you just want a straight link, then the easiest way is to open both
workbooks at the same time and use Windows | Arrange | Horizontal so
that you can see both file windows at the same time. Then click on the
window where you want the linked data to appear, choose the
appropriate sheet and cell and begin to enter a formula by typing =

Then click onto the other file window, navigate to the appropriate
sheet and cell where you want to get data from and then press <Enter.
Excel will insert the formula into the first cell, using the correct
syntax for the link. You can then close the second workbook, and the
formula will expand to look something like this:

='full_path[filename.xls]Sheet1'!linked_cell

Hope this helps.
