=indirect() won't work with closed workbooks.

Harlan Grove wrote a User Defined Function that can pull from a closed
workbook:

Does someone has an answer for the question below?

I have a cell (say A1) with the formula:

=HYPERLINK(€œ[d:\tmp\file.xls]sheet!B11")

In the next cell, I would like to see the value that the cell pointed by the
hyperlink has. I tried:

=INDIRECT(A1)

But Excel gives a #REF error in the INDIRECT function.



Does someone have any idea on how can I solve this?

Thanks a lot

Antonio Duarte.
