    You link a cell by referencing its address

    =Sheet1!a1

    Will link the cell you place that formula in to cell A! In Sheet1.

    ... so depending on what you meant by "two" sheets, refer to each sheet individually.

    If you want to subtract Sheet2!a1 from sheet1!A1

    =Sheet2!A1 - Sheet1!A1

    Beyond simple addition and subtraction, it gets tricky. If you provide an example of what you mean by "linking" (what do you want these links to accomplish?) then perhaps we can help more specifically.

    That didn't work, it just placed that formula in the cell, does it make a diffence if it isn't numbers

    If you did it right it should display what is in the cell you referenced.
