Prevent previous entered data from updating
File One.xls contains cells that pull information (i.e. a percentage of some
number) from Two.xls. I want to be able to update information (the percentage) in Two.xls, then go back into One.xls and have the previous information stay the same (using the old percentage) and have any new data use the updated percentage. Any ideas?

Sounds like you are dealing with linking formulas.
As long as they remain formulas they will update with any change of data in Two.xls You must copy and paste special values which destroys the formulas unless you copy and paste to a new range. I think you will have to use VBA event code.
