Sub Form in Excel

Experts,
In Access we can create a subform to the main form. In Excel can we create a sub-spreadsheet to a spreadsheet?

You can embed a spreadsheet in another spreadsheet, but it's not really the same thing. Why do you want a "subform" in a worksheet?

I used "subform" because it was the only label I could think of. Can an embeded spreadsheet (I'll call it the 'child") be called like a macro and linked to the "parent" spreadsheet?

Here's the need.

At the end of a period our "parent" spreadsheet is used to reconcile information against our corporate office. Within the "parent" spreadsheet is a section used for reconciliation. If we could call an embedded or "child" spreadsheet it would allow us to keep the "child" in front of the "parent", which has all the detail.
Regarding the camera tool - it represents only a snap shot of data - can you enter data?
If I understand you correctly, then no. There is no link between the two but you may be able to use the Camera tool suggested by sstampf.
