How to add formula calling up current workbook when sheet copied
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make life easier for me by putting the following into a cell ="Number of Units " & '[Depot 1.xls]dumpers'!H1 This should let me copy this worksheet into a number of workbooks and pick up the depot number from cell H1 in an existing sheet in each workbook. How do I do this and make excel look for h1 in the book I'm copying into? TIA -- Smudge |

How to add formula calling up current workbook when sheet copied
You wouldn't need the workbook name [depot 1.xls] in the formula.
I'd use: $$$$$="Number of Units " & 'dumpers'!h1 Yep, it's text--not a formula. Copy and paste into the new workbook. then remove the $$$$$ to change it into a formula. Or you could copy the formula: ="Number of Units " & 'dumpers'!h1 from the formulabar and paste it into the formulabar.

Hi Dave,
So there's no magic way of it doing this without amending the cell each time I copy over? :-( -- Smudge "Dave Peterson" wrote: You wouldn't need the workbook name [depot 1.xls] in the formula.

The second suggestion seems pretty easy.

How to add formula calling up current workbook when sheet copi
Hi Dave,
Didn't mean to sound ungrateful ! I'm using 2nd option between messages :-) but imagined that there was an automatic way of doing it that I was missing - learning all the time. Mant thanks again -- Smudge "Dave Peterson" wrote: The second suggestion seems pretty easy.

Maybe you could use some sort of macro that would make it more automatic.
