Programmatically selecting first worksheet
I have a list of workbooks and I want to get some data off of the first
worksheet. I plan to open the file and use an indirect formula similar to what I'm showing below: Range("H" & i).Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=""'""&RC1&""\[""&RC7&""]SHEET1'!""" Range("I" & i).Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDIRECT(RC[-1]&""$B$33"")" UNFORTUNATELY, the first worksheet has different names in each workbook. It's not SHEET1. How would I identify the sheetname and include it in my formula? Thanks, Barb Reinhardt |

Programmatically selecting first worksheet
sName = Activeworkbook.Worksheets(1).Name
or if your linking to a different workbook sName = "'[" & activeworkbook.name & "]" & activeworkbook.worksheets(1).Name & "'!R1C1" -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Barb Reinhardt" wrote: I have a list of workbooks and I want to get some data off of the first worksheet.

Programmatically selecting first worksheet
I have this now:
Set oWB = Workbooks.Open(Cells(i, "B"), ReadOnly = True, UpdateLinks = False) aWB.Activate aWS.Activate sName = oWB.Worksheets(1).Name Cells(i, "H").FormulaR1C1 = "=""'""&RC1&""\[""&RC7&""]""&sName&""'!""" I get an error because it doesn't know what sName is. I have dimensioned sName as a string. What next?

Programmatically selecting first worksheet
The indirect formula will break when you close the sending workbook.
Why not just retrieve the value? somesheet.range("H" & i).value = oWB.worksheets(1).range("B33").value or owb.worksheets(1).range("b33").copy _ destination:=somesheet.range("h" & i) ======== If you were building a formula to just retrieve that value (after the workbook is closed), you could do something like: somesheet.range("H" & i).formula _ = "=" & owb.worksheets(1).range("b33").address(external:=t rue) ======== But I'm not sure what you're doing...
