Cells are referenced by column and row. columns use a letter reference and rows use a number reference. to reference pages use the page name. For example if you are entering a formula in a cell on a page named sheet2 and part of the information is located on the page named sheet1, you would use a reference as follows:

sheet1!C3 This reference is for the cell on the page named sheet1 in the third column and the third row.

Hope this helps

SOURCE: excel formula

just type on the cell you want to display it on sheet2: SUM(Sheet1!A1:A2)

"sheet1" is the name of the sheet where the data is "A1" is the beginning cell for the sum formula and "A2" is the end cell

Let me know if you need more information

SOURCE: i have some value in Sheet2 of an xls file. now i want to link that value to a cell in Sheet1. Hence, if theres any change of value in sheet2 it also do reflect in Sheet1

Just put the following formula in the cell you want the number to change.
=sheet2!b1 the B1 is the cell on sheet 2 or whatever cell you want to link to. Whatever you put in cell B1 on sheet 2 will automatically change on the cell on sheet one you place this formula in.

Excel cell replacement

To have the contents of the cell change from something you input into something else, you would need to put in a macro using VBA. You'll need someone who knows VBA to help with that.

OR... It is a lot easier to get similar results, if you are ok with using a few more cells to do it. The item# will remain where it was entered, and the product name will have to go in a different cell. In that case, you can use a lookup formula.

To do this, lets say your item# is entered in cell 'Sheet1'!C1, and you want the product_name to display in cell 'Sheet1'!D1. On another sheet (lets say sheet2) In cells 'Sheet2'!A1:B5 input the item#'s in the first column (column A1:A5) and input the matching product-names in column B1:B5. This is your lookup data. This sheet can be hidden if you want In cell 'Sheet1'!D1, use a vlookup formula that will look at the item# and find a match in the list, and display the product name for you. =vlookup('Sheet1'!C1,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$5,2,false)
This will display N/A# if the number can't be found.

Using sumifs formula accross multiple sheets

Here is the syntax: =SUMIF(Sheet2!A1:A3,"> 1", Sheet2!B1:B3)

This says if the cells A1 through A3 in worksheet "Sheet2" are greater than 1 then return the values from worksheet "Sheet2" cells B1 through B3.

Change the worksheet name Sheet2 to your worksheet name and change the cell references to the ones you need.
