display content of linked cell
 

When I link to another sheet and cell, instead of showing the cell reference
in the formula bar, and as much of the content of the cell as the width of
the cell, is there any way to display all the content of the cell I'm linking
to by using a formula? I am using a hyperlink (from the formula button, not
insert hyperlink which doesn't seem to work in the same way) - is there a
better way?

display content of linked cell
 

If I understand you correctly you need a formula of the type: =Sheet3!A1

Hi there, many thanks, but not what I meant! Once I've got the formula, I
would like to be able to show the full content of the cell I'm linking to (it
is text) rather than the truncated view (as there is info in the adjoining
cell) without widening the column or using a hyperlink formula.
Thanks Lynn

Maybe some variation of this will help....

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
' This macro, placed in a WorkSheet module will automatically
' copy a cell's value over to it's comment box, so large text
' fields in a cell can be viewed without resizing the worksheet.
On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.Comment.Text Text:=ActiveCell.Value
End Sub
