Hi Jo
When you have both workbooks open, click in the cell in the main workbook (where you want the linked data to apear) within that cell, type an equals sign (=) and in the 2nd workbook, click the on the cell that you want to link to. THis will link the cell in the 2nd workbook to the one in the first workbook.
Hope this helps
David

Constants make calculations easier so worksheets are more easily understood. Constant values also need to be given relevant and memorably names. It is also easier to change the value of a constant.
For example:
Instead of entering 17.5% in each cell when you generate a VAT amount you could name a Constant "VAT" and assigning a "0.175" value to it. To do this:
From the 'Insert' menu select 'Name', then select 'Define'.
Enter the constant
