Copy Paste
Hi everyone
I have two excel files 1. ABC.xls 2. CDE.xls I am just trying to link the values in ABC.xls to table in CDE.xls by inputting this formulae in the cell. ='[ABCxls]Sheet1'!A1 This works perfectly fine except I have to do this for range A1: AL1000. I just copy A1 because it has that formulae and paste special - formula for range A1:AL1000. It copies the formula and puts it in the right manner however I don't get any values from ABC.xls unless I double click that individual cell. It is like I click the cell, it has the formlua there but It won't actually execute and return the value unless I double click that cell. Please help, Thank you for you help in advance. regards, James |
