    You can create an external reference between cells in different workbooks by following the below method:
    1. Open the workbook that will contain the external reference (the destination workbook) and the workbook that contains the data that you want to link to (the source workbook).
    2. In the source workbook, click Save on the Quick Access Toolbar.
    3. Select the cell or cells in which you want to create the external reference.
    4. Type = (equal sign). If you want to perform calculations or functions on the external reference value, type the operator or function that you want to precede the external reference.
    5. Switch to the source workbook, and then click the worksheet that contains the cells that you want to link to.
    6. Select the cell or cells that you want to link to.
    7. Return to the destination workbook, and notice that Excel adds the reference to the source workbook and the cells that you selected in the previous step.
    8. Optionally, in the destination worksheet, edit or change the formula.
    9. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
