linking text cells

[capri]

HI,

I'm in the process of creating a spreadsheet and was wondering if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.
I am trying to recap people's responses to a survey. Most of the questions are Yes/No answers and are no problem. However the last question asks for comments. I've built the spreadsheet with a seperate page for each client company, then within each page the responses from the individulas at a given company. I have up to 4 comments on each page. On my recap page, I would like to have all the comments appear.
However if I try linking the cells I want the comments to appear in they show as "+'Prop A'!B11:M11" rather than displaying the actual comment that was in the cell. That happens when the cell is formatted as text. If I format the cell as numerical then I get #VALUE!. Is there any way other than cutting and pasting the contents after they are entered to get this information into my recap page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's unclear how you want this structured. Have you tried using "&" and =Concatenate() to link text cells? Attach a small sample of what you are looking to do if this doesn't help.

Here's a copy of the spreadsheet. If you look in cell AK11, you will see where my problem is.

Thanks

Try the following formula in AK11: ='Prop A'!B11

Because you have merged B11:M11, there really is only one Cell, i.e B11. So there is no need to use B11:M11.

Hope taht sorts it for you,

Regards,

Andrew
