Cell Reference
 

Using cell references 'Sheet 1'!B15 and 'Sheet1!H11. The first reference
does NOT work (shows the formula not the data) while the second one DOES
work. What do I need to check to make the first one work? I've changed the
format in which I entered the reference but nothing works. Thanks in advance
for any help.

Cell Reference
 

Hi RJ,
You want to put an = sign in front. If you are not using
an equal sign then you are using Transition options
and you want to be using Excel not Lotus 1-2-3.
Perhaps you have the cell or column formatted as text.
Make sure you don't have a space in front of the formula.
Make sure that you have calculation turned on
Tools, Options, Calculation, calculation: automatic

You can place an = sign in a cell then click on another
cell elsewhere such as in another sheet then return
back to where you started and the formula will be filled in.
