hi,

I have 2 workbooks. In my main workbook, i have one cell which which pulls a value from another cell in another workbook via vlookup.

The workbook im pulling from is named "403 Time Sheet 201109"
each month we create a new timesheet from a template, which just creates a new file and changes the date in the filename.

Is there a way i can tell the cell in my main workbook to always look into the current month timesheet and then pull the value from a cell on a certain sheet.

Many Thanks!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
