Linking two cells
 

Hi,

I have two cells in two different worksheets. One cell is referenced by
a range variable called wagNDCell. The second cell is referenced by a
different range variable called wagDetCell. I would like to link
wagDetCell to wagNDCell, so I tried wagDetCell.Formula = wagNDCell but
that didn't work because wagNDCell returns the value of the cell. How
do I create this link? Thanks in advance.

Raman

Use the Set keyword:
Set wagDetCell = wagNDCell
will mean that wagDetCell references the same cell as wagNDCell

That will change the location of wagDetCell though. I would just like
the value of the cell represented by wagDetCell to be determined by the
value of the cell represented by wagNDCell. I would like to have an
actual link there so that if the value of wagNDCell changes, so does
the value of wagDetCell. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks for
your help.

After searching Google for a while, I finally found the followin
snippet of code at http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=4303


Code
-------------------
Function ColumnLetter(ColumnNumber As Integer) As String
If ColumnNumber 26 Then

' 1st character: Subtract 1 to map the characters to 0-25,
' but you don't have to remap back to 1-26
' after the 'Int' operation since columns
' 1-26 have no prefix letter

' 2nd character: Subtract 1 to map the characters to 0-25,
' but then must remap back to 1-26 after
' the 'Mod' operation by adding 1 back in
' (included in the '65')

ColumnLetter = Chr(Int((ColumnNumber - 1) / 26) + 64) & _
Chr(((ColumnNumber - 1) Mod 26) + 65)
Else
' Columns A-Z
ColumnLetter = Chr(ColumnNumber + 64)
End If
End Functio
-------------------


This code allows me to get the column letter based on the column numbe
so I can use the Column and Row property of wagNDCell to determine th
cell name. Thanks agian for your help

You could also use this:
wagDetCell.Formula="=" & wagNDCell.Address(External:=True)

Ah, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your help, I like
