Default update data from one workbook to another


How would I accomplish this without having both books open and copy/paste
each time?

Workbook 5, sheet 22, column 9 needs to have the data from
Workbook 1, sheet 3, column 2,

Workbook 5 needs to be able to pull the data from workbook 1 and update it
to match when I open the workbook, it needs the entire column of data.

Try this...

Do this one time...Do your normal copy operation BUT instead of pasting do
Right clickPaste SpecialPaste Link.

Biff to my rescue again!

Worked perfectly

Copied entire column, Workbook 1, sheet 3, column 2 pasted link to entire
column in Workbook 5, sheet 22, column 9

Simple, to the point, easy to understand!

Thanks again Biff!

Hi dalmom. I have just put up your 2 (EXCEL 2007) files at:-

www.pierrefondes.com

These will do what you want them to do.

When opening workbook5 you will need to:-

- hit Options (towards top / middle of screen)

- select Enable this content / OK

This will then pull in the info from Workbook 1.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped you.

(If you do not understand my instructions ask away and I will try and
clarify).
