I need to have this formula use the file name in column A (A2, for now) to get the file number (name).
I can't get rid of the "(3)" part right now.

Thanks in advance!!!

='[90602.xls]Page 1 (3)'!$B$10
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
This will answer your question but you will get an error if the referenced file is not open. A macro is required to either populate the formula, or open the referenced file.

Excel Formula:
=INDIRECT("'[" & A2 & ".xls]Page 1 (3)'!$B$10")
