Hi :) I have attached a simplistic and rather horrible example. The mailing list wont get the attachment but Ninj should. A lot of finesse is possible! For example, getting rid of the 0's. Regards from Tom :)

Is there a way to link cells between sheets in a way that they are "virtually the same"? Changing B4 in a sheet would change also B4 in other sheets where B4 is linked. Because my problem is not more complicated than that finally: "i have three sheets almost identical except for the 4 first cells, how do i avoid maintening the three ones when i need to change a cell that is the same in all three sheets?" Then i thought of some kind of link. But i don't know... Thank you!
