Linked worksheets
I have a problem regarding linking records in one
worksheet to another where the original data has headings on some rows, not all the rows are required and where additional rows are regularly added. I apologise for this post being so long, but I have tried to explain exactly what I'm trying to acheive. I have data in worksheet 1 that appears as follows: Ref Company Date Amount Category 1 456/100/001C Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £2000 456/100/001LC Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £4000 456/100/001LT Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £1500 12/101/002LT Smith & Co 15/11/03 £1000 12/101/002LC Smith & Co 15/11/03 £3000 Sum Category 1 £11500 Withdrawn Category 1 789/100/001T Co & Co 12/12/03 £2000 789/100/002T Cob & Co 12/12/03 £1000 Sum of withdrawn Category 1 £3000 Category2 456/100/002T ABC 14/12/03 £1000 456/100/006C ABC 14/12/03 £4000 12/101/003C Alpha Beta 22/11/03 £1000 Sum Category 2 £6000 Withdrawn Category 2 456/100/100C Peter Piper 22/12/03 £1500 456/100/200C Smith Bros 22/12/03 £1500 Sum of withdrawn Category 2 £3000 etc etc... I do not want to incorporate the withdrawn records, and I want to ensure that when a new record is added it is picked up in the linked worksheet. So, I want worksheet 2 to look like: Ref Company Date Amount 456/100/001C Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £2000 456/100/001LC Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £4000 456/100/001LT Bloggs & Co 12/12/03 £1500 12/101/002LT Smith & Co 15/11/03 £1000 12/101/002LC Smith & Co 15/11/03 £3000 456/100/002T ABC 14/12/03 £1000 456/100/006C ABC 14/12/03 £4000 12/101/003C Alpha Beta 22/11/03 £1000 This will then enable me to link this table directly to an Access database. The easiest solution I initially thought of was to have the records in different worksheets so the 'withdrawn' records were separate. But the worksheet 1 data is currently linked to another worksheet that is required for other reports, so I don't want to change the original format. Can anyone help me? |

Hello Amanda,
You have not given us the Excel version you are working with. I am working with Excel 2003 and when I copy the data on sheet 1 that I want to transfer to sheet 2 and paste it there, a little tag appears which has an option called 'Link Cells'. You may also want to check out the Camera feature (look in Excel help) Hope this helps, Amit "Amanda" wrote in message ...

Oops, sorry. I'm using Excel 2000. I've just tried
copying and pasting a number of rows but I don't see any tag. Is this a 2003 feature? Will look in Excel Help.
