Default File name from cell

=VLOOKUP(C$2,[Malcolm.xls]Login!$M$1:$N$31,2,FALSE)

in the above formula, how to make the file pick from cell? Something like
&A3&".xls"?

Try

=VLOOKUP(C$2,INDIRECT("'[" & A3 & ".xls]Login'!$M$1:$N$31"),2,FALSE)

But for INDIRECT, other file should be open right? But, how to go if file is
closed?

You can download an add-in called Morefunc it has a function called
INDIRECT.EXT which will work if the source book is closed

Hi,

When I use the indirect.ext function it works fine until I recalculate the
workbook. When I do so, it shows an error value
