Real time update using Excel thats linked to a second worksheet on same network
asked on
Hey guys,
I am planning in using Excel to display data on a largeTV for Real time analysis by staff members..
What I would like is to have 2 excel files ...
DisplayFile and DataFile...
The DisplayFile.xls will be open on a win7 machine connected to the large TV and a secondary Datafile.xls will will have unique data manually entered throughout the shift and I would like this data to automatically update on the TV.
Currently this all works fine when both files are open on the same physical machine but if I move the files to either a network share or different machines then the auto update doesn't work...
Naturally the display file document reference the data in the Datafile of Excel....
ANy advice?
