I require to update a Master workbook, with data from linked workbooks (not sheets).
There are 100+ linked workbooks from which I require to collate data into the master workbook.
I ended up using Indirect function for this, but it does not update data from closed workbooks, and so far what I read seems that this is the way excel works.
I don't think opening 100+ workbooks at the same time is a good idea, for the system may just run out of resources.
When trying opening one linked workbook at a time, this is what I saw:
If I open linked workbook, say feature1.xlsx, the row associated to this gets updated correctly in the master.xlsx
Now, if I save the master, and close feature1.xlsx, then open feature2.xlsx, data related to feature2.xlsx is updated properly, but the feature1.xlsx gets lost back to #REF.
I really need to get a solution for this, please help!!
