I need a little help. I need to pull data from one excel workbook (A) and
display the data on another excel workbook (B) but i only want to pull the
date if in workbook (A) cell F is yes. If document (A) cell F is no then i do
not want to pull the data to workbook (B). Can this be done?

Do you mean

=IF([A.XLS]Sheet1!F1="YES",[A.XLS]Sheet1!A1,"")

That worked but can this formula work for a range of cells in Column F? I
have not been able to get it to work for a range of cells. So say i have 7
employee's that answer yes and 8 employees that answer no i only want to pull
the employee's that answer yes. Can this be done?

Try the below array formula and copy down as required...which will return the
employee names in Sheet1 ColA which have and 'Yes' in Col F

=IF(COUNTIF([A.XLS]Sheet1!$F$1:$F$100,"Yes")<ROW(A1),"",
INDEX([A.XLS]Sheet1!A$1:A$100,SMALL(IF([A.XLS]Sheet1!$F$1:$F$100="Yes",
ROW([A.XLS]Sheet1!$F$1:$F$100)),ROW(A1))))

Please note that this is an array formula. You create array formulas in the
same way that you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to
enter the formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly
braces at both ends like "{=<formula}"

I was able to get that to work perfectly. But my question is why when i pull
up file B will it ask to update the file but it will not pull the data. It
changes everything to #VALUE. But if i have both opened it pulls the data.
