= cell in another worksheet
Hi,
I have created a Master worksheet and would like other sheets to update if information is entered into the Master. I have typed =Master!A8 but instead of the information in cell A8 in sheet Master appearing in my cell the text =Master!A8 appears. Why is this happening? I am sure I have used this formula before. have I missed something or is there something wrong with the formatting behind it? |

It sounds like the cell if formatted as TEXT.
Select the cell in question Format it as GENERAL With the cell still selected hit function key F2 then hit ENTER -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Nikki" wrote in message ...
