How to calculate formula automatically

Posted by Ian Cherng on September 08, 2001 5:06 AM

I want the formula in sheet2 to auto-calculate after I type-in a value in sheet1, without using the 'drag and fill formula' in sheet2, How can I do this, Please send me an excel example, Thanks

Hello Ian,

All you have to do is link the cell with the formula on page two to the data on page 1. Here's a simple rounding example, which you can paste into any cell in sheet 2 (or whatever sheet) calling data from sheet 1, cell A1:

=ROUND(Sheet1!$A$1,0)

The format is to put in the sheet name with an "!" after the name, then the cell address--in this case A1.

Hope this helps...
