MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2007Linking - so easy it hurts
Embarrasing rookie question. I want to link columns A:G in workbook 1 to columns A:G in workbook 2. (Two separate documents). When I select columns A through G in workbook 1, press equal then select columns A:G in workbook 2 nothing happens except I have a formula in A1 -- =WordCounts.xls!$A:$G, no other values change. Help the rookie please. With both workbooks open........... Select columns A:G in book1 Switch to Book2 and Edit>Paste Special>Paste Links>OK>Esc. To use the method you describe you have to select only one cell in book2 after entering the = sign in book1.........won't work for ranges. Then you would copy that formula down and across Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP >Embarrasing rookie question. I want to link columns A:G in workbook 1 >to columns A:G in workbook 2.
