apostrophes
Sorry Dave I don't see how that will help?

And your formula should look more like:
$$$$$='results.csv'!$b1
or
$$$$$=results.csv!$b1

A little experimenting will help you determine what works for you.
But I wouldn't use an apostrophe to make a formula text. I'd use a
different
character string:
$$$$$='results.csv!$b1
The leading apostrophe is difficult to change (as you've seen) and has
some bad
side effects--a lingering
prefixcharacter problem.

I wrote it this way for reasons I won't bore you with, but there is a
good
reason. The idea is that a particular moment I can take out the
apostrophe
using find/replace and thus activate the formula.
I know removing the apostrophe by using find/replace doesn't work on
leading
apostrophes, but it does work on non-leading apostrophes in some
circumstances. Does anyone know what those criteria are? On some
spreadsheets it works, on others it doesn't.
