Multiple references to another sheet

Joshua Rose

Hi, so obviously if I want to have a given cell in one sheet reference another cell in a different sheet, this is easily achieved. 

But let's say I want cell A1 in one sheet to reference A1 in a different sheet, followed by B1 referencing B1 and so on... do I have to set these up one cell at a time??? If I try to grab the cell corner and drag the formula down it doesn't adjust to reference the next cell in that other sheet... hoping there is a way as I have a LOT of these I have to do... 

Thanks.

Hi Joshua,

Fortunately, you don't have to pick one by one. You can cell link a range directly.

On the  destination sheet: > right click > Link from Cell in Other Sheet > Select a data source > Select a cell (or range of cells)

On the source sheet: > right click or (⌘+C/Ctrl+C) on the selected cell (or range of cells). Open the destination sheet and right click or (⌘+Shift+V/Ctrl+Shift+V) > Paste Special > Links to copied cells.

Please see the attached link/screenshot.

Cell Links: Consolidate or Maintain Consistency of Data

I hope this helps you!

Best,
