Moving data from another workbook

Can you use the = to paste from another workbook

RE: moving data from another workbook

Hi Mandy, thanks for your query. You could code your links into a worksheet so cells end up dynamically linked to cells in another workbook, but remember the "=" operator acts in its mathematical sense in code, so you can't just use it in the same sense as we do when working directly onto the worksheet. To use "=", you'd set (say) cell A1 to be the formula "=[myexcel.xls]Sheet1!G10". Essentially, you are coding the manual entry of link into a cell.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
