Import / export data
 
Hi, I am working on a label system and would like to link data from a cell in
spreadsheet 1 to a cell in spread sheet 2.
Is this possible?
The thing is the spreadsheet 1 changes each time so how will the link adjust
and select the data from each cell individually.

Thanks in advance.

If cell A1 on Sheet1 holds the text 'apple'
And in any cell on Sheet2 hold the formula =Sheet1!A1 than tat cell will
display 'apple'

If the sheet name contains spaces you need to put in it quotes
='March data'!A1

The best way to make the formula is
1) type = in the cell to hold the formula (say Sheet2 cell G1)
2) open the sheet with the data and click on the cell (say A1 on March
data)
The Formula bar reads ='March data'!A1
Press the ENTER KEY

best wishes

Hi,

You copy paste the headings from sheet 1 in sheet 2. Then select the table
you want to copy in sheet 2 while you want to paste it go to paste special
and do paste link this way the data will get pasted and when ever there is a
change in the data of sheet 1 automatically the data in sheet 2 will reflect
those changes.

Try it

Thanks
