how do i link cells that contain text in excel
It can be done in 2 Methods.
Method 1:- Place the cursor in C12 and press = and type A2. Now it will show the A2 cell value 3 in C12. if you place the cursor in C12 it will show the formula as =A2. Follow the same step for D42 also. Method 2:- Place the cursor in C12 and press = and type INDIRECT(“A2”). Now it will show the A2 cell value 3 in C12. if you place the cursor in C12 it will show the formula as =INDIRECT(“A2”). Follow the same step for D42 also. Advantage of Method 1:- If you Cut and paste the A2 cell in any other location then the Method1 will automatically change the C12 and D42 formula to the newly pasted cell reference. Advantage of Method2:- If you Cut and paste the A2 cell in any other location then the Method2 won’t change the C12 and D42 formula to the newly pasted cell reference and it will target only on A2 cell only. -- Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps! -------------------- (Ms-Exl-Learner) -------------------- "dumbone" wrote: i am creating a spreadsheet that will have several cells that contain the same as another cell - either number or text - is there anyway to link so when i type (example) the number 3 in cell A2 it will also appear in cells C12 and D42. thanking everyone in advance for their assistance. |
