Indirect Reference to Other files
Good Afternoon
I wonder if someone out there can help me. Say, in cell A1 is the formula: ='A:\Folder1\Folder2\[File1.xls]DATA'!$A$4 Is it possible to change this using the INDIRECT function (or otherwise)? i.e. if in B1 I put Folder3 Is there a formula I can put in A1 which is like the one above that references automatically what is in B1? e.g. (and I know this is wrong) ='A:\Folder1\INDIRECT(B2)\[File1.xls]DATA'!$A$4 |

Why dont you just use CONCATENATE, something like e.g. =CONCATENATE('A:\Folder1\',B2,'\[File1.xls]DATA')!$A$4 -- Special-K ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special-K's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=7470 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=561101 |
