    How ti link two excel files ?

    Hi,

    Is there any way to link to link one entire workbook with another excel workbook. For example if there are two excel files named File1 and File2.
    Any change/data entered in file1 should reflect change in file2. Also any change/data entered in file2 should reflect in file1 (vice versa) ?

    THANK YOU!
    Laxminarayana

    Please attach sample files with desired results... There are many ways to link like Vlookup and merely using "+" sign etc..
    Don`t care, take care...

    Regards,

    Re: How ti link two excel files ?

    Thank you mangesh for the suggestion. The worksheet contains columns with customer and Seller name, products, price paid and due. Few cells contain basic formulas of addition and multiplication. And Sheet contains lot of such records. The desired result i am looking for is, when i enter data in first file, want the same to show up in file2. And any data entered in file2 to show up in file1. As my excel files contains customer information i cannot attach a sample. Linking each and every cell using + sign or using vlookup will not help me in this case as there are lot of records and few of which already have sum formulas.

    THANK YOU for taking time to answer.

    no, not both ways by using a formula.

    I understand that your data is sensitive, but can you put some dummy data together, and show some before and after results?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Situation that both files are open at the same time could be possible?

    Why not simply copy the whole file across using a worksheet deactivate macro

    My choice would be Workbook_BeforeSave event but that if the other file isn't opened already...
