Using parameters to use different source files dependant on the date.
 

I am creating excel worksheets using webtrends. I am trying to get this
information into a monthly update report excel spreadsheet with a new
row of information for each month. This would all work fine if I could
state the source file as filename "-todaysdate-".
I have tried =('e:\reports\monthly\[%yyyy%mm%dd%.XLS]sheet1'!C21)
This does not work...
Once linked to a source file the formula changes to point to that
specific file. Can anyone please help me. I'm sure its possible somehow
and its driving me insane.

Using parameters to use different source files dependant on the date.
 

Try:

=INDIRECT("'e:\reports\monthly\["&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&".XLS]sheet1'!C21")

you may need to adjust the date format.
