The simplest solution is to select the second cell, and press = . This will begin the fomula
creation process. Now either type in the 1st cell reference (eg, A1 ) or click on the first cell and
press enter. This should make the second cell reference the value of the first cell.

Just follow these Steps :

If you want the contents of, say, C1 to mirror the contents of cell A1, you just need to set the
formula in C1 to =A1. From this point forward, anything you type in A1 will show up in C1 as
well.

which you want to link. A range is a block or group of adjacent cells. For example, assume you
want to link a range of blank cells in Sheet1 to a range of precedent cells in Sheet2. Click
the Sheet2 tab.

Step 2

Determine the precedent ranges width in columns and height in rows. In this example, assume
cells A1 through A4 on Sheet2 contain a list of numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, which will
be your precedent cells. This precedent range is one column wide by four rows high.

Step 3

Click the worksheet tab at the bottom of the screen that contains the blank cells in which you
will insert a link. In this example, click the Sheet1 tab.

Step 4

Select the range of blank cells you want to link to the precedent cells. This range must be the
same size as the precedent range, but can be in a different location on the worksheet. Click
and hold the mouse button on the top left cell of the range, drag the mouse cursor to the
bottom right cell in the range and release the mouse button to select the range. In this
example, assume you want to link cells C1 through C4 to the precedent range. Click and hold
on cell C1, drag the mouse to cell C4 and release the mouse to highlight the range.

Step 5

Type =, the worksheet name containing the precedent cells, !, the top left cell of the
precedent range, : and the bottom right cell of the precedent range. Press Ctrl, Shift and
Enter simultaneously to complete the array formula. Each dependent cell is now linked to the
cell in the precedent range thats in the same respective location within the range. In this
example, type =Sheet2!A1:A4 and press Ctrl, Shift and Enter simultaneously. Cells C1
through C4 on Sheet1 now contain the array formula {=Sheet2!A1:A4} surrounded by curly
brackets, and show the same data as the precedent cells in Sheet2.

Good Luck !!!
