I'm setting up a master worksheet to pull data from various external
workbooks (some of which aren't yet populated). I am using the following formula to obtain the external data: ='C:\Data Files\Brandi -SALES\Expenses\ExpenseReports\[DR01.xls]Revised Expense Report'!D38 I've also copied the formula to adjacent cells to pull from any subsequent files which would be named DR02, DR03, and DR04. The problem is, these files aren't in the ExpenseReports folder yet (aren't created yet) and it's giving me the #REF! error in the cell and errors in my total columns (obviously). I should also mention that some of the files may not ever be created. DR01 would be the first expense report in the month, DR02 the second, etc. Some months, there may be only one while other months there may be four. With that said, is there any way to modify the forumla to say -go look in the ExpenseReport folder for a worksheet named DR02 and if it's there, get the data in cell D38; otherwise leave this cell blank (or hide the error message). I've tried using conditional formatting to change the font for =#REF! to white but it didn't work (I presume because #REF! isn't considered "data" in the cell). Anyway, my objective is to keep the spreadsheet from showing errors all over the page while the data is auto populated throughout the year. Is that even possible? Any help is appreciated! |
