I want to reference a range of cells to another worksheet within the workbook.

Example: Sheet 1, Name, Birthday, Age (Ref to) Sheet 2 (with same column headings)

Sheet 1 is Titled NINNOWS 9-16 Mos. and Sheet 2 is titled VOLUNTEERLIST

How do I do this in Excel 2010?

Hi! Maybe you can help me!
I need to link one cell value for two different cells, in different worksheets. For example: worksheet 1, cell C3, i insert may name, automatically, i want to change the text in worksheet 2, cell D4 and worksheet 3, cell B2. And the same must happen if i change any other value in any other cell. If i change the cell D4, worksheet 2, it must automatically change worksheet 3, cell B2 and worksheet 1, cell C3.
I am trying to create a VBA code, but it`s impossible to get what i want!

Tks!

Thank you! The Excel support website was not half as helpful as this article!

How do I create a formula to populate cells in a column to link to a related source cell in a another worksheet?

I am familiar with the use of links to other worksheets and workbooks. However, today I wanted to link to a cell that contained text information, and I could not make it work. (I got a zero; the source cell contents were apparently being interpreted as a number, even though the cell has text format specified for it.)

I obviously cannot make the receiving cell text format, because the =’worksheet’!cell would then be interpreted as text.

I tried to see if I could use the INDIRECT function, but without success.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! (I would prefer not to have to resort to macros; I am looking for a simple solution that I can use in the future as well.)

Thanks

Can you help – I had a spreadsheet which i then copied into a new file – and from this copied data it links into new worksheet within the file. Now I have ref coming up in one of the worksheets as it still thinks its pointing to the old (pre copy) spreadsheet – how can i make it point to the data on the worksheet in this spreadsheet?? Driving me Insane !

Put this in the cell you want the data to display

=IF(A1=”",”",A1)

This is stating if cell A1 is empty, return empty, otherwise return whatever the value in A1 is. You can reference cells in other sheets

That’s what I’d like to know as well.

I used the formula for referencing cells and it worked, but if the cells are blank it returns a zero, how do I get it to leave the cell blank if the referenced cell in the other sheet is blank?

you need to say:

=’Sheet Name’!Q28

or whatever it is. don’t forget the ‘ ‘
