When VBA or Formula is used it should use Links as (lookup value) give look up result .


Eg Inventory in Tab1 has link from Tab2 cell c3 c4 c5, so these c3 c4 c5 cells in Tab 2 should display Inventory as shown above in any blank column right to it.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Guys,

Is this possible in excel.

often came across mapped Trial balances, instead of manually checking correctness if link lookup type is possible it makes job very easy.

Thanks
