OK, if both workbooks are open then first of all you won't need the path so
this should be enough
=INDIRECT("[HISTORICALWORKSHEET2.xls]"&A5&"!$U$6")
note that it will retrun a ref error when the workbook is closed and the
link I posted have some solutions for that

actual name of the worksheet "company 1" then it works
