# Calling a notebook from a different notebook

Basically I have a notebook (let's call it nb1) that when evaluated yields one number when I specify some parameter $$\alpha$$ (in nb1). I want to call nb1 in a different notebook (nb2) using for instance the NotebookEvaluate function, such that I can use the value calculated in nb1 in my second notebook nb2. Is there a neat way to do this, that also allows me to evaluate nb1 for different values of $$\alpha$$?

For concreteness I would like to do something like this in nb2:

tab = Table[NotebookEvaluate[nb1],{alpha,1,1000}];


My question is: What do I have to write in nb1 to run the table command as above?

I hope the above pseudocode illustrates what I want to do clearly.

I do not want to convert nb1 to a function, because the notebook is so long that I'm bound to run into a bunch of unforseen errors.

• do not use N as a parameter, this is a function N[expr] gives the numerical value of expr. if you evaluated nb1 and then nb2, all data from nb1 is available in nb2. – Alex Trounev Jan 22 at 20:45
• Is there something specific I must write in nb1 to store the values in nb2? At the moment i've written s =NotebookEvaluate[ directory" <> "QuantumScattering.nb", InsertResults -> True]; in nb2 but s does not contain the outputs of nb1 – MOOSE Jan 23 at 11:09
• It is possible that in nb2 there are commands like ClearAll[f] ,Clear[f] for the parameter f being used. – Alex Trounev Jan 23 at 11:53
