Give me the formula to grab data from an excel spreadsheet and use it in another. Take into account that the office version is 365.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
There are multiple ways to grab data from an Excel spreadsheet and use it in another. Here's one way to do it:

Open the source Excel spreadsheet and select the data that you want to use in another spreadsheet.

Copy the selected data by pressing "Ctrl + C" or right-clicking and selecting "Copy."

Open the destination Excel spreadsheet where you want to use the data and select the cell where you want to paste the data.

Choose the Paste option that works best for your needs:

To paste the data as a simple copy, right-click the selected cell and choose "Paste" or press "Ctrl + V."
To paste the data as a link that updates automatically when the source data changes, choose "Paste Special" from the right-click menu or the "Home" tab, select "Paste Link," and click "OK."
To paste the data with specific formatting, choose "Paste Special" and select the desired options.
Save the destination Excel spreadsheet.
Note that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Excel you are using, but these general steps should work for Excel 365.<|im_end|>

Is there a way to reference information that is not always in the same cell? For example data from a summery row of a table where I might insert rows.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
In your case, if you have a summary row in a table and you want to reference the data in that row even if you insert new rows above it, you can use Excel's structured references. Structured references are based on the column headers in your table and can dynamically reference the data within it, regardless of where it moves within the table.

Here's an example:

Assuming you have a table named "SalesTable" with column headers "Product", "Units Sold", and "Total Sales", and your summary row is below the last row of data. You can use the following structured reference formula to reference the "Total Sales" value even if you insert new rows above the summary row:

```scss
=SUM(SalesTable[Total Sales])
```


This formula uses the SUM function and references the "Total Sales" column header in the "SalesTable" table. The formula will automatically adjust to include any new rows added to the table, as long as you keep the table intact and don't break the formula reference.

You can also use structured references with other formulas, such as VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, and COUNTIF, to reference dynamic data in your table.<|im_end|>

Does that other file have to be in the same folder? How can I give an absolute path?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, the other file does not have to be in the same folder. You can link to a file located anywhere on your computer or on a network by specifying the file path in the formula.

For example, if the source file is located at "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\\", the formula would look like this:
```
='C:\Users\UserName\Documents\[Source.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$C$10
```

Note that if you move or rename the source file, the link will break and you'll need to update the file path in the formula.<|im_end|>
