Linking between sheets?

[Guest]

Here's and example of what I'm trying to do

Say I have a book by the name.... 'Eating Apples' is cell A1, and next to it
i type the numbers '1234' in cell B1. Right, what I'm trying to do is that if
I type the number 1234 is any cell in any sheet hereafter, the Title 'Eating
Apples' would pop up, replacing the numbers 1234.

Basically what I'm trying to do is linking the numbers '1234' to 'Eating
Apples', so that if someone wanted to type down 'Eating Apples' in any other
cell, they dont have to do that, instead they just have to type '1234' and
the title 'Eating Apples' would replace those digits.

Does this make sense? Is this possible on Excel?

Thanks for any help guys

One way.

.....Tools/Auto Correct....replace: 1234 with: Eating Apples

Thanks pinmaster
However, if I have several data the would need to be replaced. Would there
be any other way of performing this?

Also, if i use auto correct, am i right in assuming that it will be recorded
only in my PC. Will the changes in my autocorrect apply if someone else opens
up this sheet on their PC?

Thanks

If you are trying to save them time then you might try using validation.
You can allow them to choose from a list. You can vlookup the values
to carry them to any of the other sheets.

You can also have a cell that they enter a # and then the cell next to
it could be a vlookup that brings over the corresponding value.
