Extracting data from multiple new workbooks via one master workboo
Every week several reports are generated from a vendor in pdf format. These
reports are converted (successfully for the most part) using Able2ExtractPro. I have created a complex master spreadsheet that examins the converted pdf xlsx and extracts the needed data. The problems is: Each new sheet has a different name. Therefore the reference to the new sheet need be changed in the master sheet to be able to locate the cells in that sheet. Short of search and replace in the master sheet changing the reference to the name of the new sheet, is there a way to reference the sheet name in one cell (on the master) and have all other reference look to that? For example On the Master sheet where all the calculations are. Cell A2 would contain "workbookname[sheet1]" . Then all calculationas and lookups would refer to A2 as in the following. =sum(A2)[D2:D3000]. Of course, the above does not work and I've tried the Address function and everything alse I can think of. Any ideas? Bob |

Hmm,
Only answering because old and unanswered. Would INDIRECT function be of any use, I wonder? Cheers, Matt "iBob" wrote: Every week several reports are generated from a vendor in pdf format.
