Default Help with formula

In my Cell B28 I have:
='[ST_Combo_Debits.xls]Suntrust Debits'!$E107 << which works fine..

I would like to modify the above, as follows...
In Cell C28 I have the single letter E
and I would like to reference (in my revised formula) the E in cell C28
inside my B28, someting like:

='[ST_Combo_Debits.xls]Suntrust Debits'!&INDIRECT("C28")&107

But it is not working,, Can someone assist?

Thanks in advance...

Jim

Be aware that as soon as you close "st_combo_debits.xls" (and recalculate), then
you'll end up with an error.

=indirect() is one of those functions that won't work if that sending workbook
is closed.

Thanks Dave..
Is there a work-around, so that the formula will still produce the results
if the Source workbook is closed?
