Linking more sheets

Znamky!B8 on the Dashboard — a formula, not a copy.

Three sheets, one story

The model on Kapesne calculates the balance. Grades on Znamky have an average. The survey on Pruzkum has a winner. Linking sheets = formulas like =Znamky!B8, not Ctrl+C of a number.

The Modeller builds a network of links. The Workbook boss will put a dashboard together from that — today the first bricks.

  1. A new sheet Prehled (or expand a Poznamky section at the top). A1 Grade average, B1 =Znamky!B8.

  2. A2 Spending week, B2 =SUMA(Kapesne!C2:C8).

  3. A3 Survey winner, B3 — by hand for now roll or a formula later. A4 Winner votes, B4 =Pruzkum!E2 (when roll is in D2).

  4. Change a grade on Znamky. B1 on Prehled moves. If not, B1 is not a formula — fix it.

  5. Format B1 number 1 decimal, B2 currency Kč. Prehled is a mini-dashboard without a chart.

💡

You write = and click a cell on another sheet — the table fills in Znamky!B8 itself. Typing the sheet name by hand is OK when you type it exactly.

A path to XLOOKUP across sheets

=XLOOKUP("roll";Pruzkum!D:D;Pruzkum!E:E) in B4 — winner votes without handmade E2. When the winner changes, you have to change the looked-up text — later INDEX+MATCH on MAX.

What often goes wrong

A copy instead of a link. B1 = 1.8 hardcoded. A grade change Prehled does not see.

Wrong sheet name. A sheet renamed to Známky with an accent — formula #REF!. Sheet names without accents is fine (Znamky).

A link to the average in a chart. The chart takes data from sheet Znamky. Prehled only shows a number.

🏫 Grade average — =Znamky!B8

The only average in B8. Prehled, later Dashboard — everywhere a link. Nowhere a second PRŮMĚR by hand.

💰 Pocket money — SUMA across

=SUMA(Kapesne!C2:C8) on Prehled. Scenario F2 does not change actual C — Prehled shows what was, model H shows what if.

📊 Class survey — column E

A link to the winner cell in summary D:E. When COUNTIF recalculates, E2 fits.

🏆 Mini dashboard — Prehled = a prototype

Sheet Prehled is dashboard practice. A1:B4 the same logic as Dashboard at the Boss — three numbers, no raw rows.

Now you 💪

First: sheet Prehled with three links (average, spending, votes).

Second: change data on the source sheets — Prehled reacts.

Check: B1 and B2 are formulas with !. No #REF!. Formats correct.
