Help with named-cell referencing
I have two open workbooks:
SPX-BS.xlsm and Book1.xlsm There is a cell named "premium" in SPX-BS which I need to access from a macro to post the value to Book1. If I enter manually 'SPX-BS.xlsm'!premium into a cell on Book1 it works fine. However if, within a macro I type Range("A7") = 'SPX-BS.xlsm'!premium I get an "Compile Error Syntax Error" message. Can someone please advise what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks in advance. |
