Dear People,

I have a small Requirement in Excel. Can you please help me out?

Problem Description:

Content of Raw Material Prices are maintained in a Xl sheet.


These Material Prices are then used for Calculating the total Price of a Component in another Xl sheet using a Formula.


Requirements:

1. The Component Cost Xl File should be able to recognise the Raw Material Price File.
2. The Cost of the Material should be then read from 1st Excel sheet.
3. Calculation in the Component sheet should update depending on the Material Prices.
4. The Update should be carried out in a simplified mean, either by Macro or some other easier Method.
5. Integration steps should be easy and should take care of the Problems regarding different Paths.
6. The Extension of the Components as well as Material should be automatically taken care of (automation).

Sample

Sheet 1: MaterialPrice.xls, Path´: d:\\xyz

Raw Material Price

Aluminium 5,34
Steel 3,35



ComponentCal.xls , Path : d:\\abc\\def\\

Component Weight(Kg) RawMaterial% Total Price

Gear 46 Aluminium 50% 46*0,5*Aluminium + 46*0,5*Steel (from 1st Sheet)
Steel 50%


Thank you in Advance! Hope some day I am able to solve some of yours Issues!

Best Regards,
MOhinder

Im not an excel wiz but I know that say you have two xls documents and you want to make a reference in the second document to the first then you can open up both of them and then choose right click on the sheet in the first doc and choose move or copy and then choose make a copy and choose the second doc as the place to put the copy.
Now you should have a new sheet in your second document that have exactly the same data as in the sheet of your first document. Notice that on this new sheet, each cell refers to the first document's sheet so you can use those codee in the cells to refer to the first document.
You will need to experiment with updating, i'm not sure how it would work. You might have to reopen the document for it to update.

Hope this helps

Given two (or more) workbooks where A needs data from some other workbookB.cell,

in Workbook A at the location desired enter
=[pathtoWorkboolX.xls]sheetname!cellReference

Notice the sheetname!cellreference is how to get data from one sheet to another in the same workbook
so adding the [pathname] just addes the workbook location.

If you need to navigate on the directories, just start to enter =workbook and tab to get the file browser.
This will then create an absolute path the the file, eg
=c:\xxx\yyy\zzz\workbook

=workbook(F:\Store\Toys\ProviderA.xls) ; WORKSHEET(Products) ; CELL("contents", AH6)
=workbook(F:\Store\Toys\ProviderA.xls) ; WORKSHEET(Products) ; CELL("contents"; AH6)
none of the above transfers data to a new.xls workbook. Where is the mistake??
