Default Linking Workbooks

Ok here goes.......I work in Quickbooks for 5 different companies. Every
month I export the company financials from Quickbooks into Excel. Once in
Excel that data is consolidated into one workbook with one worksheet.



I have used links to link the data from the exported company files to the
consolidation workbook. I have found that the formulas for the links are not
always accurate. For example, one month cash may be:

=SUM('[BALANCE SHEET TEMPLATE MONTHLY.xls]Sheet1'!$F$6:$F$8)



but the following month

=SUM('[BALANCE SHEET TEMPLATE MONTHLY.xls]Sheet1'!$F$7:$F$9)



there is too much data between all of the companies to spend time checking
the consolidated workbook to ensure the formulas are correct.



Is there anyway to link the headings in the other worksheets but then pull
in the data that those headings refer to into the consolidated worksheet?





for example the following is an example of one of the company excel files:



A B C
D

1 112-exchange 150

2 105-checking 200





in my consolidated file can I tell excel to use the heading 112-exchange, &
105-checking and have it display the number 350 in the consolidated workbook?



If so what is the easiest way to do this??



Thanks for any help you may have.

Betty
