I have the following formula, its referencing an external workbook:-
=VLOOKUP(C3,'051206Cost Centre 1 .xls'!$D:$F,3,FALSE), the problem is the prefix to the external workbook is a date and this changes every day (i.e. the '051206' bit of the formula is the current day in yymmdd format). Is there any way I type in a single formula that will dynamically refer to the current days spreadsheet? I have tried the following but it returns an error: - =VLOOKUP(C3,"'"&TEXT(TODAY(),"yymmdd")&"Cost Centre 1 ..xls'!"&$D:$F,3,FALSE) Any suggestions much appreciated.
