Thanks for your time. It works perfectly, as you knew it would.

Try this:

Just remember, Master.xls MUST be open for this to work.

That's closer to what I need. I forgot to say I need to imbed the column
B
before the ab1623 and ab1624 - kind of a big miss on my part. So the
formula
would read
=AVERAGE(INDIRECT("'[Master.xls]RMG'!"B"&AB1623&":"B"&ab1624)) or
something
like that?? This of course doesn't work. I can't get the punctuation
right.

Text.xls is always pulling from column B in all the tabs in Master.xls

Hi!

Try this:

:=AVERAGE(Indirect("'[Master.xls]RMG'!"&AB1623&":"&AB1624))

Note - if this is being used in TEST.XLS then MASTER.XLS must be open for
it
to work.

I am using Indirect fine within the WS 'Test' but cannot get it to grab
info
from another WS within a nested function. Ex:
=AVERAGE('[Master.xls]RMG'!B1300:B1617) which works fine. I want the
b1330:b1617 to be an indirect call from the original worksheet 'Test'.
ex:=AVERAGE(Indirect('[Master.xls]RMG'!"AB"(&1623)&":AB"(&1624))).
This
gives me a highlight error at "AB".
Thanks
