Hi,

When I load my Excel file I keep getting the following error message:
"Sorry, We could not find 'Path/Week_xx.xlsm'. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?"

When I click OK, I then get:
"Microsoft Excel can not access the file 'Path/Week_xx.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons:
The filename or path does not exist.
The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as the currently open workbook."

Excel is correct in that the the file does not exist.....yet, but they will do in the future..

I have multiple workbooks filenamed by week and am creating a 'summary' workbook which takes data from the weekly files and compiles into 1.

It is possible for Excel to not display these errors, then when the file does exist, the data is then compiled accordingly?
Every cell has an iferror command that will display a 0 until data is present in the file in question.

The only solution I can think of is to create every file accordingly and simply enter the data when that week arises, however, every now and then I will make a change to the weekly file, which is then saved as a template. This idea would then involve going through every file and making that same change.

Any solutions gratefully appreciated.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
