Display Selected Ranges in Master file

[patrickpperron]

Hello all,

I am new to Excel VBA, and my boss wants me to display/list in a master file the cells/ranges labels ("A4" for example) from which the data was taken, of other excel project workbooks. My boss wants to be able to modify the cells taken from the sub project files from that list (which is on the masterfile), which would then change the values listed in the masterfile accordingly.

In summary, on the masterfile, there are two adjacent tables, and here's an example:

Values taken from project files Cells of Interest
Project 1: Values Cells: A2:B2
Project 2: Values Cells: C3:E3

So far, this is my code, and I've been able to list the values from the project files in order, but I want to know how to display the cell labels and create the cells of interest table. Please help!
