Post subject: Linking worksheet data
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>excel>links (more info?)

I have a worksheet (orders) which lists orders by County.

I would like to link the data in Orders (cells A2 to T7) to County 1
worksheet.

I would like to link the data in Orders (cells A8 to T15) to County 2
worksheet.

When the data in Orders is updated, I would like the data in County 1 and
County 2 to be updated also.

I know it can be done, but I can't figure out how to do it.

There are usually better ways of working than making linked copies of
the data - e.g. filtering a table, or creating a pivot table with
County as a page field, making the master data be in the County sheets
and using Data > Consolidate to build the combined sheet....

However, if these don't suit your needs and current data arrangement,
and if the area used for each County on the combined sheet is fixed:
Select the area for County1; Edit > Copy; Select the cell on the
County1 sheet where you want the linked data to start; Edit > Paste
Special > Paste Link
Repeat for each county.

If the area for each county is not fixed (e.g. you might add or delete
a row in the County1 area) then I would advise against using linked
data.
