Workbooks

How do you link up one workbook to another

RE: Workbooks

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your post, I hope you enjoyed your course. In answer to your question to create a link between workbooks you will need to create a formula which requires information from the source workbook to be displayed in the destination workbook; the easiest method of creating this link is to use a simple formula which just asks Excel to display the contents of the source cell, to do this; in the destination workbook, select the cell you wish to link and press the equals key (=) then navigate to the source workbook and select the cell you wish to use, Press the Enter key and Excel will insert the contents of the Source cell.
The formula bar will reflect the Workbook and tab names, if the Source workbook is closed, the formula bar will also indicate the file path, hope that helps, regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Generate randon numbers

Some types of analysis require you to use randomly generated numbers. You can also use randomly generated numbers to quickly populate an Excel spreadsheet. There's an easy function you can use to do this automatically. Here are a few of the ways you can use it:

Type =RAND() in a cell to generate a number between 0 and 1.
Type =RAND()*100 to generate a number between 1 and 100.
