Linking cells in different worksheets

I'm sure this has been asked before, so I apologize. I am working on my Macbook Pro. I need to enter email addresses and phone numbers on different sheets in the same workbook. Is there a way to link the cells so I only have to enter the data once? The cell is 2E on my Financial Summary sheet and 2E on my enrollment sheet, but 4E on my Youth Sheet. I'm sure this is a very entry level question so I apologize! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi cfomalley,
The easiest way to do what you are asking is to type "=" in the cell you want to bring the value into, navigate to the cell you want to bring the value from and click into it. This will work fine if you are not going to do any sorting of the dependent table
Some terms:
Speadsheet, Document, File. These are equivalent. They can contain many Sheets.
A sheet can contain many tables.
If your tables have unique names you do not need to reverence the sheet.
If I want the value in Enrollment Table to be the one the others draw from, then the formula in E4 of YouthTable would be "=Enrollment Table::E2".

Numbers: linking cells in different tables

In Numbers, how can you copy the value from a cell in Table 1 to a cell in Table 2? The two cells must be linked so that when the value changes in Table 1 it changes in Table 2 as well.
Thanks,

Yes, Jerry, this is what I was attempting to do and I am surprised that Numbers doesn't allow this (you can 'link' cells in different files in Excel). I was beginning to realize this after your last message. I followed your instructions linking cells in the same sheet, and then linking cells in different sheets of the same file. Both worked a treat but as soon as I tried this with a different file, it wouldn't work.
This is something for Apple to work on I guess.
In the meantime, I will enter the value manually and get on with my life! My thanks again for your continued efforts to help.
Happy New Year!

ST,
Linking between documents can be a can of worms, and is certainly not something that we could label as a basic requirement of a spreadsheet program. In your case, especially, it's probably best practice to isolate the years and not have the documents dependent on one another. Numbers has some nifty features, but it's not the 2-pound Swiss Army knife app that Excel is. There certainly are times when linking between documents would be handy, such as when different aspects of a project are in separate documents and need to be summarized. This would only be the case if the overall project size was very large, or if the project was divided up between different users.
There are many more urgent needs, if the iWork team has time on their hands, such as improving the speed and capacity of the apps.
Glad you are on your way.

Linking cells in different spreadsheets

I need to link cells from different spreadsheets but cannot find a command in Numbers to do this. In Excel it is "Copy" from the first spreadsheet and then "Paste Special" into the second spreadsheet. I cannot find this function in any of the manuals or help files.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Is it a living link that you wish to get ?
If it is, the response is:
no living link between different documents.
Between two tables from the same document, you may build living links.
Assuming that you want to link cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5
to cell B2 of table 12 of sheet 1
click in cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5
type the character "="
cell B2 of table 12 of sheet 1
press return.
In cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5 you will get the formula
=sheet 1::table 12 :: B2

Linking cells between 2 worksheets

Is there a way to link a cell in an added worksheet to the All Responses worksheet generated by an Adobe Form? For example, If I have a response in cell A1, i can copy it into column B by entering =A1. But what if I want to copy it into column B on a second worksheet I created? I have tried typing = and then clicking the cell on the first worksheet, as I would in Excel, but it does not work.
Any advice? Is there a way to refer to another worksheet?
thanks

Hello aislingaran,
Unfortunately, clicking on a cell on another sheet doesn't work as well as clicking on a cell in the same table, or on a cell in another table on the same sheet.
The sheet first created with your form is called "All Responses", and the response table on that sheet is called "Response Table". To refer to A1 from another sheet, you can either use Excel-style references:
= All Responses!Response Table!A1
or Numbers-style references:
= All Responses::Response Table::A1
(Note: If you were making the reference from another table on the same sheet, you would use "= Response Table!A1" or "= Response Table::A1").
I hope this helps,
Marco

How link cells on different sheets?

I'M using Numbers 3.5 on a MBP.
How can I link a cell on sheet#1 to a cell on Sheet#2?

Don,
Your question is a little short on detail as to what you want to do, but I'll assume that you want the value in a cell in a table on one cheer to appear in a cell of a table on another sheet. In the cell where you ant to display the remote data, type and "=" and then click on the remote cell. The remote cell reference will be automatically placed in the calling cell.
The remote cell reference is written: =SheetName::TableName::CellAddress
For instance: =Sheet 2::Table 1::A1

How to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

when using numbers on MacBook Pro/IOS X - how to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

In the cell where you want the duplicate data to appear from another sheet/table do the following:
type the equal sign ("=") then click the cell you in the sheet table while contents you want to appear in the cell where you just typed the equal sign"
it reads "The cell I click equals the result of the formula or the contents of the next cell I click"

Linked cells in same workbook are no longer working

I created a workbook with multiple worksheets, with some cells containing data linked from one sheet to the next - there is no linking to external data.
The linking was done by the copy and paste link option and locking the cells in the destination cell.
Various versions have been created of this workbook all containing data relevant to the user.
The workbooks are all located on a large corporate shared network across many locations state-wide. These workbooks have not been saved as macro enabled, nor are the workbooks shared.
All workbooks have been used extensively for some time with success, until very recently.
Recently the linked cells have ceased to work, and in some the data validation lists have failed to be available.
There are hundreds of these copies now in use; and I have begun the laborious task of again data linking in each individually saved workbook, only to find the link does still not work.
I have tried unlocking the destination cell, linking the source and destination cells again and then re-locking the destination cell, but to no success. Even the master template saved in the corporate shared network location is affected.
Interestingly I found a copy located on our own campus shared network, and this one has all the linked cells still working fine. This leads me to think the problem is somehow associated network or server?
Is someone able to enlighten me? I need to take this issue to our IT if it is. or is there something very simple I am overlooking?
Thanks

sorry, I think it also might be caused by the links path changed. see here:

Question on saving to different worksheets on excel.

How can I save data as I loop through a program, and save the data generated in different worksheets on one excel file, without using activex?

You have two other choices that do not use ActiveX.
1. If you write continuous data that exceeds the maximum number of rows in Excel, you can still read the data using an Excel macro. Using the ReadLine method, you can parse the data into cells and skip to the next worksheet when the row limit is reached or using any token that you want (ie. blank line).
2. If you have Excel 2000 or later, writing your data as an XML file will allow you to format the data into worksheets. This will increase the file size dramatically. To do this you have to write the required header and then maintain the proper heirarchy of Workbook, Worksheet, Table, Row, Cell and Data. Save a simple data file as XML to see the file format.

Linking cells between various Numbers files?

Dear all: I have been looking for a way to bring the values from various cells in different Numbers files to another Numbers file. I am doing this to create a summary file for others. Is this possible or do I have to create the different sheets in the same file and then link them that way by creating one bigger Numbers file.
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to respond. I guess what can be done in excel with regard to linking content from different files cannot be achieved in Numbers. That's too bad. So far, I am using Numbers sporadically when composing spreadsheets that are not so complicated and integrated and where I want a better "look" to the final outcome. Thanks again.

Safari keeps crashing every time I try to open a link from a different application, i.e. Mail. The trouble report says that some problem occurs with libcooliris.dylib plug-in. Can any one help?

Dear Linc,
Thank you for the advice, John Blanchard1 and Linc Davis
As suggested in your reference thread I removed "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpPostScriptPDE.plugin" and the problem has been resolved.
I am guessing the the plug-in for the hp printers got corrupted and effected every thing, or became unsuitable when I installed an Apple update. I would be most grateful if you can confirm how the problem was coursed so I can understand and learn from this experiance.

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Hello, I want to perform a simple task.I have two Adobe ID accounts linked to two different email addresses. One account i do not want to use anymore but it is linked to my main email account. the account i do not want anymore is still in its free stage and i have not purchased anything with it. My other Adobe ID account is linked to an email i rarely use and don't particularly want to use. i have tried changing the linked email account to my regular one i use. But it obviously does not allow me because of it already being linked to my other non used obsolete Adobe ID account. Is there any solution to this?? Please help.

Importing tables with linked cell data from excel to indesign

Hey,
I'm designing a catalog and have been linking the tables in InDesign from a spreadsheet in excel. In my spreadsheet, I am linking cells from a master sheet to another sheet so that I when I update the information on one sheet, it will update throughout the spreadsheet.
Now that I have the linked cells set up in my spreadsheet, I've inputed the tables into InDesign but: the table cells in InDesign containing linked cells from within the spreadsheet do not appear.
I've gone through all the import table options in InDesign and cannot find a way to make it work.
Does anyone have an answer or input?
Thanks,
KT

When we are updating the excel sheet it automatically updates the link in InDesign and it's continually changing. Does CSV break the links in excel or does it keep them and allows InDesign to read the linked cells as well?
Thanks for your response!

How can you save data to a spreadsheet and use different worksheets in the spreadsheet?

I am trying to save data to a spreadsheet.
Each set of test data needs to be saved under a different worksheet. Is this possible and how can I do it?

As the example that Dennis pointed out, this can be done using activeX. In addition to that example I have another that demonstrates how to create a new workbook with multiple worksheets and save data to each of them. I hope that between the two you can get an idea of what to do.
