Excel DDE Embedded reference
Hi Folks
I have the following DDE link in a cell in a spreadsheet:
=RSLINX|TOPIC_NAME!TAG_NAM
E
This works correctly :-)
Is it possible to get the topic and tag names from another cell ?
Something like:
=RSLINX| & Sheet1.Range("A1") & "!" & Sheet1.Range("A2")
Regards Simon
