I have a spreadsheet that colates data from other spreadsheets. Each quarter,
a new spreadsheet is created, and I want to reference that new datasheet from within the top level. The file names change slightly, such as "BookingsQ109" vs. "BookingsQ209". I've tried using the INDIRECT function to create a text string for the name, putting the current quarter in a cell that the INDIRECT calls. Such as: A1 contains: Q109 =INDIRECT("'[Bookings" & A1 &".xls]Sheet1!A2") The problem with this is that the cell reference is inside the text string, and thus I can't copy this formula and have it automatically adjust the cell reference for me. Is there a way I can accomplish this such that I can get the cell reference changed as I copy the formula? Thanks, Pete |
