How do I call number values form one workbook to another workbook
I'm using excel 2000 at work and excel 2007 at home to try to find an answer,
but I haven't found on yet. I have a workbook with data refering to numbers of pages from a copier in a month that is listed per day. I have another workbook that has the days of the month for sheets, and number values for wasted product. the wasted product numbers are in cells D2:D8. I need them to go into differnet cell on the other workbook: K5,K15:K17,K25 Workbook one is called Product list, January 08 (as sheet 1) {Where I want information to go} Workbook 2 is called Wasted Paper, 1/1/2008 (as sheet 1) {where I need infomation to come from.} The formulas I have looked at so far have been "cell" and "hyperlink", but don't seem to do what I want them to do. Hyperlink, from what I understand it to do, despalys a link to the refrenced cell, worksheet, url, ect; and cell, from what I understand, gives back coded data from a refrenced cell, not the actual data in that cell. Any help would be Appreciated |

How do I call number values form one workbook to another workbook
Other than using "hardcoded" direct link formulas, eg:
In your book: Product list.xls In sheet: January 01 you could have in say, A2: =IF('[Wasted Paper.xls]1 1 2008'!A2="","",'[Wasted Paper.xls]1 1 2008'!A2) with A2 then copied across/filled down to return the link values as required Note: The above link formula assumes the source book: Wasted Paper.xls is open simultaneously, with links to be done from a sheet: 1 1 2008 (think Excel 2003 will reject a sheetname such as: 1/1/2008) Perhaps INDEX/MATCH might provide a better way Check out Debra Dalgleish's nice coverage on INDEX/MATCH at her: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions03.html INDEX/MATCH There's also some sample workbooks available for d/l & study -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Teryn" wrote: I'm using excel 2000 at work and excel 2007 at home to try to find an answer, but I haven't found on yet.

How do I call number values form one workbook to another workb
I have briefly tested opening both workbooks and just clicking on the cell
that I want the information in, and then the cell that the information is coming from in the other workbook, but it was on two test workbooks, and not the actual ones needed and it worked. However, both workbooks where open, and I would like it to work with information going to the one receiving with it being unopened, just pulling the data from the saved file. Unfortunately I am using excel 2007 at home and 2000 at work. I will take a look at the web page. Thank you for assisting.
