Hi,

Try

=INDIRECT("'[temp.xls]125'!"&"A1")

Replace the 'temp.xls' with the file name you need and replace the cell
A1 with the cell you need.

Note that Indirect works only when the source workbook is open.

I am getting messed up on the grammar for this function. I am trying to
refer to a Worksheet called "125" - - which is on a different (opened)
Workbook.

How do I use the INDIRECT function so that it will go to a specific
Workbook, pick the correct '125' tab on that workbook, and return to me a
fixed cell value?

Thanks for your help. Excel Help is not clear about the grammar.

Thanks.
