Creating a linked file based on variable location reference
In Book1, cell z1, I have a file location reference (F:\Home\Paul\Book2.xls)
which can change via vlookup depending on the name of the saleperson. I want the data from Sheet 1 of that z1 file location to appear in Sheet 1 of Book1. What formula or macro would I need to put in (Book1 Sheet 1) to pick up data from the location and file name from cell z1? Sorry if the above is confusing!! |

Creating a linked file based on variable location reference
Hi Momk
The Indirect function is not working with closed workbooks Maybe you can use a macro to create the links for you like I use here http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary2.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Monk" wrote in message ...

Creating a linked file based on variable location reference
Dear Monk
Open book2 as well as book1. Go to a cell from sheet1 of book1 where you want the data from book2. Press + on your keyboard and select the cell from book2 (where you have the desired data) then press enter. Link will be created automatically which can be edited later using Edit - Links "Monk" wrote: In Book1, cell z1, I have a file location reference (F:\Home\Paul\Book2.xls) which can change via vlookup depending on the name of the saleperson.
