Hello all,
I would be grateful for any help with the following scenario:
I have a Summary workbook and need to reference information for multiple workbooks which are detailed below:
The file directory structure needs to remain in place for work purposes.
I have over 100 workbooks (each located in their own folder) and wanted to know if there’s any way to automate the references of the above records i.e. without having to click on the Summary Workbook and open each workbook individually and link the sheet and cell reference.
As you can imagine, this would be very time consuming; I did some research but cannot find anything which relates to what I need. The closest thing I have found was creating a ‘Query’ in Excel but wanted to know if there’s anything easier. I have tried copying and pasting the above file paths in the formula bar hoping Excel would be okay with referencing the workbooks in this manner, but this does not seem to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
