Hi All,
I was wondering if there's a method to achieve the following. I work with a large number of externally provided fixed format workbooks. From all those workbooks I need a number of values which are in the same exact cells. See table below for an example of what I would like to achieve. Cell B1 has a reference to one of the external workbooks. But rather than having to manually change the workbook name from in this case test1 to test2, I would like a function which reads the text in column A and inserts the text in the formula so it automatically changes the formula to the correct directory. To have it as efficient as possible, the link to column A should be a drag down function as well if that's possible.

Hopefully you are able to help!

A | B | |
1 | test1 | ='C:\Users\...[test1.xlsx]10.Source-Disposition'!$B$26 |
2 | test2 | ='C:\Users\...["A2".xlsx]10.Source-Disposition'!$B$26 |
3 | test3 | |
4 | test4 | |
5 | test5 |
