Cell Link Auto-Refresh

N Wills

I have a sheet that shows colleague productivity to individual colleagues that uses cell linking to ensure they only see their own information.

The master sheet shows updates automatically throughout the day as their work is tracked, but the linked cell in their view doesn't auto-refresh unless you refresh the entire sheet. Is there a way around this?

Hi @N Wills

I hope you're well and safe!

Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed to update the sheet(s) daily.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Was hoping to find a way that it would be able to update throughout the day as they completed their work so they can see more real-time their completion stats without having to refresh the page manually. Not a big deal but a bit odd that other methods like formulas will update more in real time but cell linking doesn't.

You can add one per hour.

Would that work?
