How to link a summary item into another sheet

Tracy Ashton

Hi, I have calculations in a summary field in one sheet that I would like to link into other sheets. How can I do this?

Hi @Tracy Ashton

I hope you're well and safe!

You'd need to add so-called helper columns or designate an area in the sheet that links from the Sheet Summary. You'd then cell-link that to the other sheet or use cross-sheet formulas to connect it to the other sheet.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

That works, thank you @Andrée Starå. Its unfortunate we cannot link from summarized values but having them linked into a column I can hide works.

Have a good day

what formula do you use in a helper column to pull a field from a summary sheet?

You just need to link to a summary field with the # reference, example: =[Summary Field]#, and make it formula column.
