Name in cell ref used in a formula
Hello,
I have the following formula (this is only a part of the formula) : =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH('S:\BTeams\Affinity\Affinity\Automotive Ops Database\MTC Capture Tool 2\Fred''s Team\[MTC - Joe Bloggs.xls]Mid-Term'!$B$3:$B$503)=12) I have Joe Bloggs as a name in the formula and also in a cell. Can i use the cell referrence, such as C6 instead of the name? Would this then referrence the external spreadsheet correctly or am i stuck using the full name? So it would read [MTC Tool - "Cell Ref".xls] Thanks, |

using the full name? There is a way to do it the way you want with built-in functions *BUT* the referenced file *MUST* be open. This is usually a "deal breaker"! There are a couple of other methods that might work on the closed file but these require VBA routines and one is an add-in. Still interested? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Phendrena" wrote in message ...
