After "=A1" what do you do next?

[Guest]

I am trying to take information from one spreadsheet to another. After using
"=A1" on one spreadsheet and the code being put on the second spreadsheet,
how do you get the information to actually "merge" to the second worksheet?

Don't enter =A1.
On the second sheet, enter the = sign. Do not hit ENTER yet. Mouse-click the tab of the other sheet and then click cell A1. Then
hit ENTER.

If you refer to the A1 cell in the 1st spreadsheet that number will change in
spreadsheet 2 when it changes in spreadsheet 1. If you want to just take the
that value and not have it change you will have to copy and 'paste
special'...'paste as values' . Depending on how complex and how many of
these cells you need to do this for you could record a simple macro to help
automate this.

I have the codes done properly on both spreadsheets but do not understand how
to get the information to transfer over. There are three columns coming from
an eight column spreadsheet. I do not know how to do the paste special or
paste as values either. Thank you for your help
