Hi!

How do I reference a cell in another workbook, but have file name change dynamically. I've tried concatenating a string, but i keep getting a value error.
This is what I want to do:
Code:
cellReference&"Sheet1'!A1"
where cellReference is:
Code:
'C:\Data\[filename.xlsx]

Thanks for your help!
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
I am pretty sure that the Workbook needs to be open, to reference a cell in it.
I am not sure what you mean by "using the real path". As opposed to what?
