importing a cell value
I need to import a cell values from an un-opened .xls using a variable address
ie cell A34 = the location of the .xls on our server (j:\121213\Drafting\Quants\) "105 White Ant" = the name of the .xls B3 = the cell I need to import C6 = value(A34+"105 White Ant"+B3) Any help or advice would be hugely appriciated |

Sorry I should also have specified that I want to avoid the use of macros.

You would normally use INDIRECT to do this, but it will only work with
workbooks that are open. If you want to avoid macros or add-ins (such as Laurent Longre's morefunc or Harlan Grove's PULL function), then you will have to open your second workbook. Hope this helps.

One way to approach this is to construct a "Text" formula, which can
reference your variables, and then convert that "Text" formula to an XL "legal" formula.
