Cross workbook referencing based on cell input
Hey guys,
I have a 'summary' sheet that references other workbooks and polls data from specific cells on those sheets. Currently I have to 'hard-code' the references to those other workbooks on my summary sheet - is there a way I can use input from a cell to determine which other workbooks are referenced, instead of having to hard-code this into the sheet? That way a user can determine which other sheets are referenced. I'm sure this involves macros, cunning visual basic jiggery pokery, and/or voodoo magic. All replies, even the voodoo ones, are gratefully appreciated! NMG |
Hi Neal
The indirect function will not work with closed workbooks. But you can run a macro to do this Maybe this will give you some ideas http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary2.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Neil Mitchell-Goodson" wrote in message ...
