Hello Excellers,

I have a worksheet cell that contains a formula that refers to a cell
in another workbook file.

I have a VBA macro that needs to follow that reference. That is, open
the referenced file, and go to the sheet of the referenced cell (so as
to get other things from the same sheet).

In the past I've simply extracted the file name from the cell formula
using string functions. But that only works with straightforward cell
links which simply refers to a cell in the other file. That is, the
cell formula only contains one file name in it somewhere.

Now I'd like to handle a situation where the cell formula is more
complicated. In this case the formula uses the Choose worksheet
function to pick a link to another file. This means the formula
contains more than a just one file name. So my method of using string
functions to extract the file name doesn't cut it anymore.

Is there any way to determine the file name of the cell being
referenced by the more complicated cell formula?

Thanks,
