How do I link a range of cells in a column on one worksheet to a range of
cells on a line in another worksheet.
E.g: the data appearing in 'sheet 1' is on range C34: F34.
I would like to see these contents automatically appear in 'sheet 2' on
range H20:H23.
 
1. In EXCEL 2007 Set up 2 Workbooks one called avinity1.xlsx the other called
avinity2.xlsx.

2. In avinity1 Workbook in cell A 1 type, for example, this is cell A1.

3. Go to avinity2 Workbook and in cell A1 type:-

=[avinity1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1

This will copy the information directly from the avinity1 Workbook.

There are other ways of doing this.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.
 
Alternatively the following may help:-

1. In avinity1 type in data (any data that you like) in cells A 6 to E 7
inclusive (10 cells in total - you can make this range any size you like).

2. Highlight the range from number 1. above and do a Ctrl-C to copy.

3. Go to avinity2 Workbook (any cell that you like) then Home group / Paste
/ Paste Link. You should see that the data from avinity1 is copied in. Now,
if you amend avinity1, for the said range, it will update avinity2
automatically.

This is what you need in cells H 20 to H 23:-

=Sheet1!C34
=Sheet1!D34
=Sheet1!E34
=Sheet1!F34

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

you may also try this. Select H20:H23 on sheet2 and type
=TRANSPOSE(Sheet1!C34:F34) in the active cell (which will be H20). Now
confirm the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter as against the conventional Enter.
