Linking text cells between 2 worksheets
hi
try your formula like this..... =IF(sheet1!B6="","",sheet1!B6) this would not produce a zero on sheet 2 but would carry data to sheet 2 if data exist on sheet 1 in the corresponding cell. regards FSt1 "Malcolm" wrote: I tried this before but explained my problem so badly I did not get the response I was looking for, so let me try again. My workbook contains sheet 1(the source sheet,) and sheet 2 (the destination sheet.) I am entering text into a column of cells in the source sheet, and would like it to be entered into the destination sheet at the same time. I have used the formula =‘sheet 1’!B5 and entered this into cell B5 of the destination sheet then copied down the column. I have also tried starting at the destination sheet (sheet 2) and entered the = sign and without hitting enter switching to the source sheet and clicking on the corresponding cell and then hitting enter. Both of these attempts work if text is entered into the cells of the source sheet, but if any of the cells in the source sheet are left blank, and some are, the destination sheet displays a 0 in the corresponding cells. Since the cells in these columns are text the zeros are not wanted. I can delete the zeros from the destination sheet, but then I would have to reenter the formula the next time text needed to be inputted into the cells. Is there a work around for this? Thanks, Malcolm |

FSt1, Hi,
Once again, you have saved my bacon. Do you change into your cape first before saving me?
