Cell value as part of a worksheet ref. in Excel
I have a column of invoice numbers.
I have a column of names also taken from a cell on each of those invoice worksheets (The invoice worksheets are in another file.) The formula to obtain the names is: ='D:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Work\[Filename.xls]SheetName'!$E$2 How can I reference just the SheetName part of the formula to the adjacent cell which contains the matching invoice number? (So that I can fill down the formula without having to type it afresh for each cell.) |

The function you'd want to use that's built into excel is =indirect(). But that
function returns an error if the sending workbook is closed. If that's a problem, then Laurent Longre has an addin (morefunc.xll) at: http://xcell05.free.fr/ That includes =indirect.ext() that may help you. ones_conscience wrote: I have a column of invoice numbers.
