INDIRECT.EXT
I am trying to access data in a closed file using the add in INDIRECT.EXT.
The name of the file is in C11 (value = "'C:\Temp\20060327\[20060327 - Weekly - All locations - LPS - Live.xls]Weekly'!$C$9" inc double quotes) and the call to INDIRECT.EXT (value = =INDIRECT.EXT(C11)) is in F11. The result of the call is a #VALUE! error. When I change the call in F11 to =INDIRECT.EXT("'C:\Temp\20060327\[20060327 - Weekly - All locations - LPS - Live.xls]Weekly'!$C$9") it works a treat. Can anyone explain what's wrong with the former expression? |

http://xcell05.free.fr/english/index...func_Functions I think you are using MOREFUNC add-in for INDIRECT.EXT If so, remove the double quotes from C11. and replace the formula with INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("'",C11)). it worked for me. ' character has a special meaning for excel. if a cell content starts with ' character, excel assumes rest of the cell content as text. beacuse of that we used CONCANTENATE to add ' char to C11 cell content in INDIRECT.EXT formula. -- Haldun Alay "Mike McLellan" , haber iletisinde şunları ...
