Hi, I am attempting to replace the hard typed filepath name in various formulas with the filepath as it appears in a cell.
For example rather than the below formula:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"='I:\Finance\Reports\2022-2023\02 August 2022\[Consol Report Aug 22.xlsm]Retail'!R158C9"

being able to reference the file path as it is typed into another cell (say in cell C2 of ths sheet being worked in):
1663991242969.png


so that this file path name could be combined with the sheet name and cells in the formula.

Appreciate any assitance
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
I tried to understand your need but from the description, you gave I was not able to. Maybe try again to describe what you are attempting to do.
