Links to other workbook
I have a series of workbooks which access another workbook to complete data.
Some of this is done with data validation by creating a name linked to the external data. The rest is done using VLOOKUP based on the entries cells filled with data validation. This all used to work well until I changed the location of the external data file (moved from My Documents to C:\). I know I need to change the target in the sheets and this worked fine in the first one, but the second seems to be causing problems. When I open the workbook, I'm prompted that the sheet contains external data and asks if I want to update it. Whne I click Yes, a dialog box opens saying File Not Found and displaying the root directory where the file is. Can anyone see anything wrong with the formulae below (copied while Test Equipment List.xls is open)? Named ranges ='[Test Equipment List.xls]Sheet1'!$E$5:$E$30 ='[Test Equipment List.xls]Sheet1'!$A$5:$A$30 Formulae =IF(A36="","",VLOOKUP(A36,'[Test Equipment List.xls]Sheet1'!$A$5:$C$30,2,FALSE)) =IF(A36="","",VLOOKUP(A36,'[Test Equipment List.xls]Sheet1'!$A$5:$C$30,3,FALSE)) ='[Test Equipment List.xls]Sheet1'!$G$5 I've used Find to locate all references of Test and these are the only ones on the sheet. I've looked through all the named ranges and the only ones referring to an external workbook are those listed above, all the others refer to a hidden sheet in the local workbook. Any suggestions will be very gratefully received. Ian |
