Hi all,

I want to link cells to another file based on the tab name. I have the name in cell s1 and want to combine this with an offset query as well based on the current period.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out exactly what the file should be

=OFFSET('C:\Documents and Settings\jbelitz\_Data\Desktop\FY06 forecast\files from controller\[Consolidated Forecast v7(bl).xls]GTA'!Q52,0,CurrentPeriod)/1000

I want to insert the indirect to replace the word GTA (which is the tab name) to reference cell S1.

Also, I will be mailing this out to several folks who won't have access to the above named file, I notice that when I close down the other file, the #Value error appears, is there anyway to keep the data there?

Thanks,

J.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
I dont know whether this will help you

="[C:\Documents and Settings\jbelitz\_Data\Desktop\FY06 forecast\files from controller\[Consolidated Forecast v7(bl).xls]"&S1&"!Q52,0,CurrentPeriod)/1000"
