You could use INDIRECT, but your example suggests you want to lookup into
closed workbooks. Is this so, INDIRECT doesn't work wit closed workbooks?

Is vlookup able to find the file refering to column's header? I need to
get
data to column B. Formula below shows that source file has the same name
as
column B just without extention (.xls). Now the formula should recognize
B1
to find source file. Any help is much appreciated.
A B
1 Komax40-1must 05-03-05
2 0-1000 0
3 1001 - 2000 0
4 2001 - 3000 0

=VLOOKUP(A2,'[Komax40-1must 05-03-05.xls]DAILY SHT
Komax40-1must'!$A$9:$BL$25,64,FALSE)
