Default Cell Reference

Thanks, but that doesn't work,

If I can explain a little clearer.

The following example would be workable for me.

In cell a1 I have a formula =summary!a1
in b1 is have =summary!b1

You will see that these cells are in the same workbook but a different
worksheet


in a2 the formula is ='[Uploaded.xls]Sheet1'!$a$1 - (here the formula is
looking at a different workbook)

and so on

In cell c1 I would like the formula to be based on the formula in a1. If a1
is pointing to the summary sheet then I would like the c1 to say "not
uploaded"

However, if the formula is pointing to the uploaded spreadsheet then I would
like c1 to say "uploaded"

So if the formula in c1 is copied down to c2 then c2 would say "uploaded"
because A2 is looking at the uploaded workbook.

I tried the find function by putting the following formula in cell c1

=find("uploaded",a1) and the cell showed #VALUE!

Hope this clears up what I am after.

Doing a Find on the other workbook's name will 'highlight' (select) each
