Linking cells
 

I'm trying to set up a worksheet where I can type something into one
cell, and the information automatically shows up in another cell that I
designate. I tried using functions, but I get different results.
Basically, I want the designated cell to be blank until something is
entered in the source cell. I was able link the cells by using "=" and
"+" and setting the cell format to "General". However, I get a "0" in
the designated cell when nothing is entered in the source cell. Is
there a better way?

Thanks in advance!

Hi careyc

Lets assume the cell you want to link from is A1 on Sheet1, to cell A1
Sheet2

In cell A1 sheet2 use the following Formula:

=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)
