Changing dates across multiple worksheets
I have a workbook that contains 18 sheets. Is it possible to change the date
on sheet 1 and have it change on the other 17 sheets, even though the sheets contains two different date formats, 5/25, and 5/25/10, and all of the sheets are different than sheet 1? Im using Excel 2007. Thanks, Malcolm |

Link each of the date cells on 17 sheets back to the main sheet where you
will change the date. =Main!A1 where A1 is the changing date. Each sheet formatted to your choice.

Changing dates across multiple worksheets
Gord, Hi,
I must be doing something wrong. The first sheet is called Cash Audit and the date cell is B4, so should the date cells on the other sheets look like this: =Cash Audit!B4? Because when I put =Main!B4 into the other sheets a different date appeared.

='Cash Audit'!B4 would be correct in all 17 other other sheets.
"Main" was an example only but if you are getting a date and not a #REF! error using =Main!B4 you must have a sheet named Main.

Thanks for the feedback.
You must have managed to figure out what "other other" meant<g Gord On Tue, 25 May 2010 12:50:01 -0700, Malcolm wrote: Gord, Hi, You were spot on.
