Need help on the following, currently the formula is fixed ot File 1.xlsx (in red below)

=IF(COUNTIF('T:\Version 10\[File 1.xlsx]Database'!$P:$P,D1)>0,"YES","NO")

is it possible to change it to cell? let say D1 (D1 is Dropdown)

Something like this:

=IF(COUNTIF('T:\Version 10\[&D1&]Database'!$P:$P,D1)>0,"YES","NO") so that the formula will be based on the value of D1.

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Try this:
=IF(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'T:\Version 10\[" & D1 & "]Database'!$P:$P",TRUE),D1)>0,"YES","NO")
