Hi i hope you can help, i have 2 workbooks (Book13 and Book14) these both have the same data, for example in cell C12 is the number 13 in both workbooks, but if someone reduces this number to 11 in either of the workbooks i want the other workbook to automatically update the cell to 11, i dont want to mirrow the workbook as i want them both live. please can you help with the code?
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Paste this code in each worksheet of Book13 that y ou want it to work on.

Paste it in the same sheets on Book14 but change "Book14" to "Book13"

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    'this sub requires both workbooks to be open


    Application.EnableEvents = False
    'This code goes in Book13, amend for book 14
    Workbooks("Book14").Sheets(Me.Name).Range(Target.Address) = Target
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    
End Sub

You don't need to if the book is open. Just ensure both books are open. If you require code to check if the workbook is open, then if not ,open it, that's a different set coding altogether. Do you need to be able to do it. even if workbook is closed?

Hi yes please if workbook is closed as well.
i did try the code below which worked fine in one workbook but when i added the code to the other workbook it crashes for some reason (i just changed the book13 to book14).
Code: 
  Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  Dim s1 As String, s2 As String, addy As String
  S1 = ThisWorkbook.Name
  S2 = ActiveSheet.Name
  addy = Target.Address
  ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="file:///C:\Users\s21375\Desktop\Book13.xlsm"
  Workbooks(s1).Sheets(s2).Range(addy).Copy ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(s2).Range(addy)
  ActiveWorkbook.Save
   
  End Sub

This works. Pate in to all sheets you need "Mirroring"

Amend the filename line (highlighted with ***) to suit.

Please note that this code closes the workbook if it was originally closed. Remove the "wb.close" line if you want it to stay open


Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    'This code goes in Book13, amend for book 14
    
    
    'this sub requires both workbooks to be open
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim spath As String, sFileName As String
    Dim bOpen As Boolean 'remember if workbook was open or not
    
    spath = "C:\Users\s21375\Desktop\"
    
    ' *** This line needs changing for Book 13
    sFileName = "Book14.xlsm"
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set wb = Workbooks(sFileName)
    If wb Is Nothing Then
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open(spath & sFileName)
        If wb Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "File can not be opened", vbCritical
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Else
        bOpen = True
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    wb.Sheets(Me.Name).Range(Target.Address) = Target
    If bOpen = False Then
        wb.Save
        wb.Close
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

Hi this code works great, but how can i make it work if both workbooks arent open, it works great with both workbooks open, but it doesnt update the other workbook if it is closed.

The code works if at least one of the sheets is open.

how can i make it work if both workbooks arent open
Click to expand...

Now that is confusing. Surely at least one of them has to be open for the user to change it, to trigger changing the other?? :confused:

ohh sorry, i worded that wrong, i meant to say if only one spreadsheet is open, then it doesnt update the other spreadsheet, it works great if they are both open, but not if just the one. sorry :)
