Linking Cells, Incorrect Result
 
I am trying to create a link to a cell with a formula. When I try this the
result in the destination cell is zero even though there is a value in the
cell I am linking to. I get the same result whether trying to creating a
link in the same worksheet or different workbook.
There are other cells in that same worksheet that I have been successful in
this task. It seems that the cells I am having a problem linking to have
links to the same worksheet. I've checked the formulas in that worksheet and
all seems to be fine. I have an earlier version of the same workbook and do
not have this problem.
I did have a similar problem in this same workbook and found it was caused
by a formula in the cell of one of the worksheets. For some reason Excel did
not like this formula and I ended up 'hard-keying' the data for these cells.
After I did this, I know longer had problems linking data.
I don't know if this makes a difference but the workbook is quite large. I
would appreciate any insight on this problem that is available.

Thanks,
Susan

If we could see your formula, it would be easier to comment
