Question:
What I would like to be able to do is tie the two worksheets together
so that when I change a quantity on one page it will change the similar
cell on the other page. I believe this is possible but I do not know how
to do it or what to call it.
Answer:
The name of what you will be doing is called "Create a link to a cell in
another workbook". Its easy to do, a little awkward to explain. Its
almost as simple as linking to another cell in the same worksheet.
Example "=B2". However you need to add the name of the 'source
workbook' into the destination excel field.
Here is a example of linking to another workbook:
"=[EBAY Bookkeeping.xls]Sheet1'!$C$7."
Notice
that the source workbook name is in brackets "[" and "]" followed by
the source sheet name "Sheet1" followed by the specific cell info, the
"$" make the focus lock on the row and column.
Depending on your version of Excel , this can also be accomplished
by "PASTE SPECIAL - LINK" , copy the cell in the source workbook and
then paste special - link in the destination cell.
This should be
enough to help you get on your way. If you have follow up questions
please include the version of excel that you are using.
