Auto update between two workbooks.
I'm working on Excel file called destination.xls then i want to call up
another workbook source.xls to automatic update destination.xls on some rows. I mean whenever source.xls change then destination.xls should pull automatic update from it. I taught of using ='C:\My Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 OR VLOOKUP FORMULAR . "NOTE" If i change anything in those rows in source.xls then it should automatically change the same rows in destination.xls. Please can you help me and advice on what to do. Thanks alot. |

Have you tired ='C:\My Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
If both files are open this should work If 'destination' is closed, it will update next time you open it Try it and tell us the result VLOOKUP does not seen appropriate here best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Kanmi" wrote in message ...

Hi Kanmi,
You should use the first approach, which you have written. This is known as linking of the cells between worksheet tabs. Whenever you open "Destination.xls", it will ask you to "Update values" and you need to click on "Ok". This will fetch the data of "Source.xls" into "Destination.xls". To achieve this, select the data range in "Source.xls" and then open "Destination.xls" and select the same data range, and do Edit - paste special - paste links. -- Click on Yes, if it is useful.

Auto update between two workbooks.
Wow! You are Amazing creator. Thanks so much. It working. I apply it to just
one cell and it working but I want apply it to the rows without changing the rows number manually. Note"When i tried to drag to next cell below it doesn't change the cell no, it apply the same formula on A2 to A3 then give me the same result on both cells. If it can change the cell number on the formular while dragging it down. That will be great. I'm applying it to cell A2 TO A3000(A2:A3000) stress to start changing update links and changing cell numbers. please what can i do master? Thanks so much once again "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Have you tired ='C:\My Documents\excel\[source.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 If both files are open this should work If 'destination' is closed, it will update next time you open it Try it and tell us the result VLOOKUP does not seen appropriate here best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Kanmi" wrote in message ...
