Spreadsheets

Hello Sultan

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

The most straightforward way of creating a link is to create a simple formula that makes one cell equal to another. For example, if you are adding together sales across 4 quarters, then you want to be able to use the total sales in another workbook as part of another set of calculations (e.g. to determine profit), then you could do the following:

Select the cell where you wish to create the link (in the worksheet where you are figuring out profit).

Type in =

Navigate to and select the cell where you have created the total sales formula (by adding together figures from the 4 quarters).

Press Enter.

You have now created a link between the cell containing the total in the worksheet where you are doing your profit calculations; and the cell which contains the total for the 4 quarters.

The advantage is, if the sales figures are altered, which then adjusts the total sales, this would be reflected in the sheet where you are calculating profit, and adjust the profit calculation accordingly.

I hope this helps.
