I'm trying to reference a cell in another workbook stored in a different directory. Easy enough. However I am attempting the following:
I have a table, Col. A is a list of names. Col. B is where I need to reference a cell in the other workbook.
What I need is a to auto create the reference based on the name in Col. A so if the names change, so does the reference address.
Name
Doe, J.
Address to other workbook:
C:\Users\SOMEBODY\Management\Admin\TargetWorkbook.xlsm
(This workbook has a worksheet for each name, such as 'Doe, J.')
Always referencing A1
Normally this would be something like '=C:\Users\SOMEBODY\Management\Admin\[TargetWorkbook.xlsm]Doe, J.'$A$1
I need the "Doe, J." to change depending on the name in Col. A and the rest to remain static.
