Link cell in new worksheet to another cell in source worksheet. They are in different workbooks

[JSH720]

I am having trouble linking data in my consolidated workbook to an individual cell in a source worksheet in another workbook. I've tried = with then going to original worksheet cell, enter plus a couple of other things I found on the web. They are not working.
Please help. I have rows of data that I will have to manually copy and paste otherwise.

Thanks.

To create the link I'd start with both workbooks OPEN. Just start with the "=" then Point to or select the cell you wish to link to in the Other Workbook, and then CLICK OK.

Unfortunately, that is not working. I actually had them side by side. Must be some little kink in my options or something . Thank you for helping though.
