Hello, I am new to this group and I am unsure if this topic was covered in the past so I apologize in advance.
*Problem*: I have external worksheets that i get on a montly basis (Naming convention is the same and the date gets updated. I.E. "Report May 2012.xls", "Report April 2012.xls") I have another worksheet where I summarize these reports. In this summary report I would like to create a dynamic formula that could possibly reference a cell that contains the updated "date" (i.e. June 2012) and simply just drag my formula down to fill in the report. I have tried the =indirect() function however, that only works when the worksheet is open which doesn't work for me in this purpose. I have tried various avenues, some silly some advanced but I have not been able to come to a solution. Any direction on this issue would be GREATLY appreciated. -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
