CELL function.
Does the CELL function works with a external file?
I want to get the path and file name for a external file, but the CELL function works only the active worksheet... Does anyone know if this is possible? |

No, but you could use the cell function in that other workbook and just link
to the cell with the formula in the other workbook -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Luiz Rapolla" wrote in message ... Does the CELL function works with a external file?

Your suggestion works fine, but after try again, the CELL functions worked
fine with a external file. Follow an example: =CELL("filename",'[excelfile.xls]Sheet1'!$D$23) Thanks a lot for your tip!

OK, I thought you meant that the other workbook was closed, if so you'll get
a #N/A error if you use your formula -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom http://nwexcelsolutions.com "Luiz Rapolla" wrote in message ...

Of course... The CELL function doesn't work with closed excel files, but the
link works... I'll check with my customer and let him to make the choice for the best option.
