I need more columns
What if you need more than 256 columns?
I cannot link the worksheet pages either because I am averaging the numbers |

256 is the limit in Excel.
You can write an average formula, though it's more work, e.g. =SUM(Sheet1!A1:A500,Sheet2!A1:A500)/COUNT(Sheet1!A1:A500,Sheet2!A1:A500) On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 09:57:04 -0800, "dilbert" wrote: What if you need more than 256 columns?

In fact you don't need to "roll your own" average. this formula also works:
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!A1:A500,Sheet2!A1:A500) On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 12:14:56 -0600, Myrna Larson wrote: 256 is the limit in Excel.
