Linking colums from one sheet to another issue
Good morning,
I am trying to set up a master document with linked cells across three different sheets. First being an order form, second being a shipping form and third being an install form.
All the information will link back to my system ID of which system is being installed.
My question is when I highlight my cells I am wanting to link to and then do the link, it is only linking three rows across the three columns I have. I'm puzzled as I have not had an issue with this before. Any help would be appreciated, I'm dabbing into the web form function to try to streamline and automate this process to make it easier on the different levels of staff to keep everything flowing for our communication.

Hi Whooper,
What it looks like to me is that you are trying to link blank cells. Only cells that contain data (or have contained data) can be cell linked.
If you need to "pre-link" cells (before you have the data) here's a trick -
Select the cells you will link, and give them a background color (it can even be white), and save. That will put "data" in the cell and allow you to create the cell links.
Hope this helps,
Kara

the background color trick didn't work for me, has this trick been disabled?
