referring to sheet in another file
my question is below, i'm re-asking as i was unable to make it work even with
the other file open...but maybe my formula is incorrect.
can you elaborate on what the formula would look like?

Indirect can, IF the other file is OPEN

...
I have a file that has a sheet/tab for each department e.g. 85,86,87,88
etc.
and each tab has sales info for all the items in that dept.
In another file i have an item (dept#, class, style, etc) and want to look
up the sales info in the other file....but my lookup formula must know
which
sheet to look on.
INDIRECT function doesn't work as it can't do external file references,
correct?
thx.
