Default Can I use the content of a cell as part of filereference in other

I can't believe there is not an easy way to solve the following, but thusfar,
I've not been able to find it. Your help is much appreciated:
I want to use the value of one cell to determine the filename that is used
as a reference in a different cell:
A1='\\....\[weekxx.xls]'Sheet1'!$C$15
Where xx is the value of Cell A2.
So if A2=41, then the reference is to file week41.xl and A1 will be filled
with the content of C15 in Sheet1 of that file
If A2=42, the reference is to week42.xls etc.
Anyone knows a solution that does not involve creating a macro?

Thanks in advance
