#value! in linked document
 

Hi there, is there any way to automatically update linked documents without
opening the source document? When I leave them closed, my main worksheet
shows #VALUE! in the cell, but when I open the source documents, the value is
displayed.

Not sure if this can be helped, but I thought I'd ask

#value! in linked document
 

It sounds like you are using the INDIRECT function, otherwise this should
not be a problem. If you are, I'm afraid INDIRECT requires the source
document to be open.

Hi Luke,

sorry for the intervene, when the source is not opened, indirect throws #REF error not #value

Hi,

You are using one of the following 5 functions (which do not work when the
source workbook is closed) - INDIRECT(), OFFSET(), GETPIVOTDATA(), SUMIF()
or COUNTIF(). Please check which of these formulas are you using. If you
are using SUMIF() and COUNTIF(), the we can solve the problem by using the
SUMPRODUCT() instead (which can work even if the source workbook is closed)
