How do I use indirect when referring to a named range in a closed
 

Can't see all of your title message, but if youre trying to use INDIRECT to
get a result from a closed workbook it doesnt work as far as I know, there
are ways round it though, post more detail,

Not possible, you need VBA for that, Harlan Grove wrote a UDF called Pull and
Laurent Longre has an add-in where the function is named
INDIRECT.EXT

Look for pull.zip

Laurent Longre has an addin (morefunc)

Hi Alan,

Thanks fior replyinh

I have a workbook which uses indirect to reference a named range in another
workbook. There are quite a few named ranges in quite few closed workbook.
Having them all open would stress the memory of the pc, si I was wondering if
there was a straight forward way of referring to the ranges without getting
#ref! in the cell.
