Hello all,

Hopefully there is a simple answer to my question. I have two worksheets
that are the same, I enter numerical data on them. I primarily enter data on
the first worksheet, the second worksheet (which looks exactly the same) has
data entered that needs to be added to the same corresponding areas on the
primary worksheet. Here is the problem that I am having.

I can make formula's that cover the primary sheet that say =+Secondary!G4
and when I put something into the secondary worksheet it does add to the
primary. However since I enter data on the primary worksheet also, I find
myself having to rewrite the formula every time I enter new data. Is there
any way integrate the forumla to the cell so that I can enter data into it
without erasing the formula? Thanks for any help you can offer.

The only way you can have a formula and data in the same cell is to enter a
formula like:

=Secondary!G4+100
