Try taking out the double quotes.

Barb,
Thanks for replying so quickly. The work book will be closed.
So I tried the MOREFUNC method you recommended but get a #NAME? error. Maybe
the spaces in the path are messing it up? Here's what I put:
=INDIRECT.EXT("'C:\Documents and Settings\My
Documents\Billing\B-Digital[2006Digital.xls]June2'!L32")+July1!J29+July2!J29+Aug1!J29+Aug2!J29 +Sept1!J29+Sept2!J29+Oct1!J29+Oct2!J29+Nov1!J29+No v2!J29+Dec1!J29+Dec2!J29
Which is where the original file resides (2006Digital2.xls)

Is the workbook 2006Digital.xls closed when you try to do this? If it must
be closed, there is a function that you could use to get data from a closed
workbook. It's called INDIRECT.EXT and it's in an addin call MOREFUNC. Do
a google search and you should find it.

I don't get an error with this code but it also doesn't pick up the content
of the cell I'm trying to grab from. The cell is an = adding totals from
numerous tabs in a worksheet all totaled at June2!L32.
Here's the code.

=[2006Digital.xls]June2!L32+July1!J29+July2!J29+Aug1!J29+Aug2!J29+Se pt1!J29+Sept2!J29+Oct1!J29+Oct2!J29+Nov1!J29+Nov2! J29+Dec1!J29+Dec2!J29

And here's where it originates in 2006Digital.xls at L32:
=Jan1!J29+Jan2!J29+Feb1!J29+Feb2!J29+Mar1!J29+Mar2 !J29+Apr1!J29+Apr2!J29+May1!J29+May2!J29+June1!J29 +June2!J29

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
