Default change a function in a workbook without changing every cell

I am linking several workbooks to one workbook. The workbooks name change
every month. How can I create a formula that I can change without having to
change every cell in the new workbook?

You can use the 'indirect' function to make a text reference into a life
link. Look at XL help for more

Hi

Indirect is not working with closed workbooks
You can do a EditReplace or if your Excel version have this use
EditLinks

Or if there are not so many cells you must link to use a macro
