How do I create a formula to populate cells in a column to link to a related source cell in a another worksheet?

Re: Excel: How To Reference Cells in Other Worksheets

I am familiar with the use of links to other worksheets and workbooks. However, today I wanted to link to a cell that contained text information, and I could not make it work. (I got a zero; the source cell contents were apparently being interpreted as a number, even though the cell has text format specified for it.)

I obviously cannot make the receiving cell text format, because the ='worksheet'!cell would then be interpreted as text.

I tried to see if I could use the INDIRECT function, but without success.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! (I would prefer not to have to resort to macros; I am looking for a simple solution that I can use in the future as well.)

Thanks

Put this in the cell you want the data to display

=IF(A1="","",A1)

This is stating if cell A1 is empty, return empty, otherwise return whatever the value in A1 is. You can reference cells in other sheets

I used the formula for referencing cells and it worked, but if the cells are blank it returns a zero, how do I get it to leave the cell blank if the referenced cell in the other sheet is blank?

I have 2 sheets
a. is a typical list - with Work Order as the Key in column 1
b. is a form which we need to be populated from one single row in (a). Ideally the row we are last positioned on when we looked at (a)

We are trying to give the user a nice easy way to print on one page a single work order form.

Techbelgaum-

Use this formula: =64.3-ROUND(46.59,0)
The second argument for the ROUND function tells how many digits to round it to (in this case, 0 tells to round it to the nearest integer).

What if the cell contains a name and you want to have that coming back in different sheets? So you fill out the name in a cell on sheet1 and with a formula in the other sheets it will appear there as well.
I have tried =sheet1!A1 but it won't work.
Can someone help me please? Thanks

can the worksheet be referenced other than by name? i'd like to get data from one sheet to the left, regardless of its name. i'm using =INDIRECT(ADDRESS... etc to enter a value in a cell, and a macro to name the worksheets based on that cell. it all works fine, but when i copy the sheet data to a new sheet, i have to replace the worksheet name in the cell formula, which kind of defeats the purpose of all the coding. thanks!
