Linking Workbooks

Is it possible to write macors and code that would go in to to different workbooks or access to to collect data and then apply that data into a new workbook for analysis, therefore, keeping analysis and data seperate?

RE: Linking Workbooks

Hi Ana

Thankyou for your question

Could you please clarify your requirements for me?

Do you want to be able to create a series of modules that can be applied to a variety of workbooks? Or do you wish to be able to analyse data contained in one workbook and then place the results of that analysis in another workbook.

You also mention Access. Can you be more precise as to the type of data you wish to extract from Access and how you would wish to analyse it

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
