Hi, I'm putting together a spreadsheet to automate some summarizing from
other spraedsheets I receive every day. The main roadblock I've run into is
that the name of the source sheet changes every day, i.e., "june 24th.xls" &
"june 25th.xls"
So what I thought I'd to is create some lists with the part of the name that
changes and then have a cell concatenate the varialble part of the file name,
as below:

$A$1(list data): june 24 through june 30

Then a formula to incorporate this into a vlookup

=VLOOKUP(D22, CONCATENATE("'", $A$1, "th.xls", "Sheet1'!$A$8:$E$1000"), 5,
FALSE)

The trouble I'm running into is that the concatenate function sticks
quotation marks around what it sticks together, and the vlookup doesn't
understand the table_array reference with quotation marks around it.

the formula created ends up being:
=VLOOKUP(D22, "'C:\data\[june 24th.xls]Sheet1'!$A$8:$E$1000", 5, FALSE)

Is there any way to pull a string from cells and use it in a vlookup? Or a
way of getting rid of the quotation marks around the resulting array_table
value?
