Linkage problem between spreadsheets
My data transferred to the other spreadsheet with no problem, it lost the
format it had in the base spreadsheet such as dates, percentages, etc. The problem is at the top of each of my columns it calculates totals and percentages, and the total is counting all rows transferred whether they are blank or not. I unclicked the "zero values" in the "Tools/Options" tab but this didn't help. If I "clear contents" on the blanks cells the calculations are correct but it also clears out the link to the other spreadsheet. One other thing....there is a formula worksheet in the workbook that controls calculations for some things (but not all). As far as I can tell this worksheet isn't causing the "count the blanks" problem. |

Linkage problem between spreadsheets
Appreciate your reply.
Have this in each row. Problem is the counter that I have for each column is counting blanks. For example, I have data for 28 people in 28 consecutive rows. The first 5 rows contain Header/Label info, row 6 contains the total # of those who attended training, row 7 calculates the percentage for those who attended training. Strangely, this doesn't happen in every column but does for the majority. If I "clear contents" on the blanks the total is correct, but then I loss the link to the original spreadsheet. Is there also a way to maintain the original data format in the linkage?
