Default Auto update between two workbooks.

Hi Kanmi,

You should use the first approach, which you have written. This is known as
linking of the cells between worksheet tabs. Whenever you open
"Destination.xls", it will ask you to "Update values" and you need to click
on "Ok". This will fetch the data of "Source.xls" into "Destination.xls".
To achieve this, select the data range in "Source.xls" and then open
"Destination.xls" and select the same data range, and do Edit - paste
special - paste links.

Click on Yes, if it is useful.

Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 OR VLOOKUP FORMULAR .

"NOTE" If i change anything in those rows in source.xls then it should
automatically change the same rows in destination.xls. Please can you help
me and advice on what to do. Thanks alot.
