Well, I'm just asking if you link the worksheet that way, isn't that the same as putting a vlookup formular for a table, and making that table absolute or even named it. I'm just trying to understand the concept on how to work on formular as I can't see well enough to determine the visual table and cells. So in simple, I make this area of cells to be absolute so that the formular I'm making on my spreadsheet will be always refer by the formula for entering info just like what you try to help to put on the same data on different worksheet. I hope its not making anymore confuse then how I made to myself. =20 The everlasting dilemma is, if you choke a smurf, what colour does it turned?

Can you ask me that question again, a little more slowly? Are you asking the difference between absolute and relative references?

Sorry for such stupid question as I'm just starting to learn Excel in my course here, I mean the formula like =3D3Dif and vlookup etc. So I'm learning over here too.[ ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=3Dunsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
