Try definining a name for the source range and edit the link to reflect that
name.

Example: Define name for the source range MyLinkedRange *(See help for how)

Then edit the following formula for the link.
='[2009 Revenue.xlsm]Sheet1'!$B$4:$S$4

to the following:-

='2009 Revenue.xlsm'!MyLinkedRange

I was not certain that I interpreted correctly which workbook is the source
and which is the one containing the link but the above should give you the
idea.

I have come to this excel group on many occasions, and have had most
of my questions answered by searching through the posts. *So I thank
all who contribute.

This problem, though, eludes me and I can't seem to find it in the
groups. I use Excel 2003. *My problem is this...

I have two Workbooks - "Revenue Worksheet" and "2009 Revenue".

From Revenue Worksheet I want to link cells B162:S162 (which is a
total of a certain amount of columns) to a cell range in 2009
Revenue. *Which I can do.

The problem is that in Revenue Worksheet rows maybe added (1, 2, 3
rows etc at varying times) before the total row a month or 6 down the
line. *Once those rows are added 2009 Revenue still links to 162.
When infact it is now 170. *I have to continually go back to 2009
Revenue to change the linked cells. (And find that I have to do each
cell at a time.)

My question is, is there anyway to make 2009 Revenue pull from that
Total row in Revenue worksheet as it moves to different cells?

It seems that this works when it is within the same workbook, but I
cannot get it to work in different workbooks.

I hope this all makes sense, as sometimes what makes sense to me,
doesn't make sense to most other people. * If you need clarification
please let me know.

Thanking all in advance for any thoughts on this.- Hide quoted text -

Thank you for the response. While this sounds like it may work, I
cannot figure out how to do it. I believe the that I have figured out
how to Define Name. But I cannot seem to figure out how to reference
that in the destination (2009 Revenue) workbook.

Also in addition to my original post, if both workbooks are open, the
destination workbook link will work. The problem is when once saved
and closed, any rows added to the source (Revenue Worksheet) without
the destination workbook being open, it will not work and keep the
previous cells that the formula indicates.
