Hi,
I have approx 100 excel sheets with exactly the same structure, each containing a form with entered data. Each form holds approx 200 data-items in named cells (eg. Entry001, Entry002, ..). Now I want to make a separate excel sheet with rows pointing to all the data-items in all the forms. This will result in a sheet with approxe 100x200 cells containing references. I see two possible options, but I do not know how to implement them. OPTION 1 Is it possible to use a VBA macro to populate the sheet with all the formulas? Each formula will have the form of: =FORM001.xls!Entry001, =FORM001.xls!Entry002, =FORM001.xls!Entry003, ... =FORM002.xls!Entry001, ... =FORM100.xls!Entry200, The question is how to put a formula (not a string) in a cell (not the iteration through the numbers). OPTION 2 In the first column I make a list with numbers (001-100), in the first row I make a list with cellnames (Entry001-Entry200). Is it possible to make a generic formula (eg in B2) which refers to the cell in the first column and the cell in the first row like: =ReferenceToFileWithNameFrom(A2)!ReferenceToCellNa meIn(B1) This solution would have my preference, but I do not know if excel offers this possibility. Thanks Insomniux |
