Linking text cells between 2 worksheets

[Malcolm]

I tried this before but explained my problem so badly I did not get the
response I was looking for, so let me try again. My workbook contains sheet
1(the source sheet,) and sheet 2 (the destination sheet.) I am entering text
into a column of cells in the source sheet, and would like it to be entered
into the destination sheet at the same time. I have used the formula =‘sheet
1’!B5 and entered this into cell B5 of the destination sheet then copied
down the column. I have also tried starting at the destination sheet (sheet
2) and entered the = sign and without hitting enter switching to the source
sheet and clicking on the corresponding cell and then hitting enter. Both of
these attempts work if text is entered into the cells of the source sheet,
but if any of the cells in the source sheet are left blank, and some are, the
destination sheet displays a 0 in the corresponding cells. Since the cells in
these columns are text the zeros are not wanted. I can delete the zeros from
the destination sheet, but then I would have to reenter the formula the next
time text needed to be inputted into the cells. Is there a work around for
this?

Thanks,
Malcolm
