Answer 1

In Microsoft Excel we can link a textbox to a specific cell to show the linked cell content in the text box. What's more, if the value of the linked cell is changed, the textbox will update automatically. You can do it with following steps:

Step 1: Click the Text Box button under Insert tab, and insert a textbox in your worksheet.
