I am trying to reference a text string in place of an array for an index formula. Any suggestions? Basically, I want to simplify some very long index formulas because they use too many characters in one formula for the cell to compute. It's causing excel to lock up on me. Here's what I want to do, but I can't quite get it to work -
Instead of using =index(array,row,column), I want to make cell A1 = a text string representing the file path to the array I need to reference. I'd like to be able to have a formula similar to =index(A1,row, column).
Any ideas would be graetly appreciated.
