Unit-2 ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET (ADVANCED) USING LIBREOFFICE CALC
6 LINKING SPREADSHEET DATA
Linking spreadsheet data in LibreOffice Calc is a powerful feature that allows users to connect, reference,
and organise information across multiple sheets and external sources. By linking data, users can streamline
workflows, update information automatically, and ensure consistency across documents. LibreOffice Calc
provides various methods for linking data, including setting up multiple sheets, creating cell references,
and using hyperlinks. Users can insert, rename, and reference cells across different sheets within the same
spreadsheet or even in external documents.
LINK DATA AND SPREADSHEETS

Setting Up Multiple Sheets
While working with a large amount of data, multiple sheets can be created to organise the spreadsheet and
making it easier to find data. Spreadsheet can also be grouped to quickly add information to multiple sheets
at the same time.

the spreadsheet, as shown here.
