How do I reference the value of a cell within a formula?
I am trying to have a Vlookup that pulls from another file. The issue is I
want the name of the file to be the value within a specific cell. For instance, cell A1 has the value "File#1" (through a formula). I want the vlookup to pull from File#1 without hard coding this into the formula. Essentially I want my vlookup to be something like: =VLOOKUP(A5,'[A1.xls]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$Z$10,2,FALSE) (lookup cell A5 within the file named File#1, which is the value in cell A1) |
