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. -- stuckupnorth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stuckupnorth's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31330 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=510129 |

Try: =INDIRECT("'e:\reports\monthly\["&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")&".XLS]sheet1'!C21") you may need to adjust the date format.
