I have a link from one workbook to another e.g.
='C:\temp\[Book1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 However, I want to parameterize which external workbook to go to, e.g. in my main workbook I would like to have a cell which contains the location and name of another workbook and then use the contents of this cell to dynamically make up my link query. For example, say I have in cell $B$2 of my main workbook a value of C:\temp\[Book1.xls]Sheet1 then in cell $B$3 I want to dynamically make a link to this external workbook, e.g. =<$B$2!$A$1 This would bring back the contents of cell $A$1 from C:\temp\[Book1.xls]Sheet1, however, if I then changed the file & location details in cell $B$2 to, for example, C:\windows\[Workbook.xls]Sheet2, the dynamic link in cell $B$3 would then bring back the contents of cell $A$1 form C:\windows\[Workbook.xls]Sheet2. Hope that makes sense. How would I do this? Many thanks DHL |
