Changing dates across multiple worksheets
I have a workbook that contains 18 sheets. Is it possible to change the date
on sheet 1 and have it change on the other 17 sheets, even though the sheets contains two different date formats, 5/25, and 5/25/10, and all of the sheets are different than sheet 1? I’m using Excel 2007. Thanks, Malcolm

Link each of the date cells on 17 sheets back to the main sheet where you
will change the date. =Main!A1 where A1 is the changing date. Each sheet formatted to your choice.

Changing dates across multiple worksheets
Gord, Hi,
I must be doing something wrong. The first sheet is called Cash Audit and the date cell is B4, so should the date cells on the other sheets look like this: =Cash Audit!B4? Because when I put =Main!B4 into the other sheets a different date appeared.

='Cash Audit'!B4 would be correct in all 17 other other sheets.
"Main" was an example only but if you are getting a date and not a #REF! error using =Main!B4 you must have a sheet named Main.

Thanks for the feedback.
You must have managed to figure out what "other other" meantg Gord On Tue, 25 May 2010 12:50:01 -0700, Malcolm wrote: Gord, Hi, You were spot on.
