Formula Syntax
Here is the syntax for referencing cells
=[BOOKNAME.xlsx]SHEETNAME!$COL$ROW
Example:
=[book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1
You can also leave out parts of the syntax if you are currently working on the location you are referencing, for example, you don’t need to include the file name if you are currently working on the file. That reference would look like this:
=Sheet1$A$1
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can save time and the effort of switching from the keyboard to the mouse to execute simple commands. We recommend that you print this list of Excel keyboard shortcuts and keep it by your computer for a quick reference.
Note:Â A plus sign indicates that the keys need to be pressed at the same time.
