SUMIF problem

[triloguy]

I am trying to use the sumif function to gather information from another workbook. This works fine as long as the workbook that I am trying to get the info from is open. If it is closed and I calculate the formulas, then I get the #VALUE! error. I can use other functions to gather info from the same workbook without issue. I don't want to have this other workbook open in order to make it work. Questions? Comments?
Thanks!

SUMIF in WB1 applied to a range in WB2 requires that WB2 be open, a constraint we have to live with.

However, you can tranfer the SUMIF formula from WB1 to WB2 and fetch the results of it from WB1 by others means that do not require WB2 to be open.
