I have an Excel spreadsheet which compiles a summary report by linking to many spreadsheets, whose file names are computed according to the date, e.g. If Cell A1 contains '[Data_2010_December]Inputs'! the link formula might be = +INDIRECT(A1&"D$65")*1
That works fine provided that file Data_2010_December.xls is open; if it is not open the result is #REF! Is there a way of getting around this, so that the links are live and values are preserved? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
