How do I link workbooks together ?

RE: Excel Intermediate

Hi Anita

Thanks for getting in touch. Linking a workbook is a matter of creating a formula that references another workbook.

For example, if you are looking to add two values that are in workbook and show the result in another, start by having both workbooks open. In the destination cell press =, then navigate to your other workbook and click the cell that contains the data you want. Press + and click the other cell, then press Enter. The result should be shown in the present workbook.

To review any links in a workbook, go to the Data tab and click Edit Links.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Return to the active cell after scrolling

When I scroll a long way down the screen from a selected cell, I can return to that cell with the Ctrl+Back Space shortcut. The active cell now appears in roughly the middle of the screen.

Shift+Back Space does something similar. Scroll down from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the top of the screen; scroll up from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the bottom of the screen.

Note also, that while Ctrl+Back Space will return me back to a selected range, Shift+Back Space only ever returns me to the active cell, which is normally at the top left-hand corner of any selected range.
