Linking workbooks and allowing the master sheet to be variable

[burntpig]

Hi,


I have been trying to figure out how to link data from a master sheet that does not remain static, meaning that rows need to be added or subtracted at various times, and being able to link this data to other workbooks and have those rows added or subtracted when done in the master sheet. i am using excel 2008 for mac. i have read about hyperlinks, making queries, and using pic=vot tables but my understanding isn't enough o see how i can use them. do i need to download an driver to make queries? simply pasting a link does not work as it doesn't add a new row if added to the master. any help would be great, thanks

And about your question...


I have never used an Excel 2008 Mac workbook, but if you still want to give a try consider uploading the sample files (source and target). Please refer to second green sticky post for guidelines.
