I would guess you have two instances of Excel running with a workbook open
in each instance.

Will not communicate.

Close one instance and open both workbooks in a single instance.

Even by puttting the simplest = in the destination workbook cell then tabbing

two are 100% completely separate and not linkable.

Can someone please help with what should be a very simple task?
