Hi
the original formula (without INDIRECT.EXT) does not seem to be a valid
reference either.
Also you can't access defined names from closed workbooks. This is not
possible!

I keep trying to use this function and it gives me an error even if
the source workbook is open or closed. I have a reference in a cell
that pulls the cell value in another workbook based on the
intersection of two named ranges. The reference looks like this:
='K:\ACCTG\25 BUDGET\Department Budgets\GAMES 2005.xls'!Jan
'K:\ACCTG\25 BUDGET\Department Budgets\GAMES 2005.xls'!PR
Where "Jan" is the named column and "PR" is the named row.
I want the named column to change based on a cell value so I wrote
the
following formula. The cell that holds the value is c179. The
formula looks like this:
=INDIRECT.EXT("'K:\ACCTG\25 BUDGET\Department Budgets\GAMES
2005.xls'!" & C179 & " 'K:\ACCTG\25 BUDGET\Department Budgets\GAMES
2005.xls'!Rev")
This just gives me a REF#! error. Is what I'm trying to do not
possible or am I just wrong in how I am writing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
