Default Inserting a string in a cell reference

down vote favorite
share [g+] share [fb] share [tw]


Dear All,

I have in a cell ("I8") the name of the sheet and I in another cell I want to get the value of a cell that is located in a different workbook but has the same name. So I've tried:

='[Results.xlsx]'&I8&'!$P$2

but I get an error. I've tried using " but I also get an error. I've done this already but I haven't got the excel file with me. Any advise is welcome.

Kind regards,

Joćo
