Link Cells to Change Cell Value from Many Cells

I don't actually know how to word this question. I'm not looking to simply link cells together with an = or similar function.

Is there a way to set up cells so that if I change the value in any of those cells, they all change? Ideally, they will link across sheets.

Example: A1, B2, and C3 are linked in this way.
So if A1 has '6' entered, B2 and C3 will also display 6. Then if I change B2 to 9, A1 and C20 also change to 9.

I'm guessing it will have to be a macro instead of a formula.

Try placing the following sub in your worksheet's code (not in a regular module):
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Select Case Target.Address(0, 0)
        Case "A1", "B2", "C3"
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            Range("A1,B2,C3") = Target.Value
            Application.EnableEvents = True
    End Select
End Sub

Thought I could enter the Sheet name + specific cell in place of those cells - quickly found out it is not that simple. How would I get those cells linked like that if they're all on different sheets (using the hidden sheet name)?

Try placing the following sub in ThisWorkbook code (not in a regular module):
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Source As Range)
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Select Case Sh.Name
        Case "Sheet1"
            If Source.Address(0, 0) = "A1" Then
                Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2") = Source.Value
                Sheets("Sheet3").Range("C3") = Source.Value
            End If
        Case "Sheet2"
             If Source.Address(0, 0) = "B2" Then
                Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = Source.Value
                Sheets("Sheet3").Range("C3") = Source.Value
            End If
       Case "Sheet3"
             If Source.Address(0, 0) = "C3" Then
                Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = Source.Value
                Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2") = Source.Value
            End If
    End Select
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

So that works if the sheets have those Names but not if the Names are changed (which I'm expecting to happen regularly). What about for the sheets' CodeName ?

Here is a sub that uses codenames:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Source As Range)
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Select Case Sh.CodeName
        Case "Sheet1"
            If Source.Address(0, 0) = "A1" Then
                Sheet2.Range("B2") = Source.Value
                Sheet3.Range("C3") = Source.Value
            End If
        Case "Sheet2"
            If Source.Address(0, 0) = "B2" Then
                Sheet1.Range("A1") = Source.Value
                Sheet3.Range("C3") = Source.Value
            End If
       Case "Sheet3"
            If Source.Address(0, 0) = "C3" Then
                Sheet1.Range("A1") = Source.Value
                Sheet2.Range("B2") = Source.Value
            End If
    End Select
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
