    Link to closed workbook not working

    I made the following formula to pull data from one workbook to another. As long as the source workbook is open, it works fine, but as soon as it's closed all the cells using this formula return #VALUE! errors. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    Here is the formula:

    {=IF($A$21="","",(IF(ROWS(C$20:$C20)>$L$20,"",INDEX('[Transactions.xls]All'!$B$1:$B1827,SMALL(IF('[Transactions.xls]All'!$A$1:$A1827=$A$21,ROW('[Transactions.xls]All'!$B$1:$B1827)-ROW('[Transactions.xls]All'!$B$1)+1),ROWS(C$20:$C20))))))}

    Thanks in advance.

    You give the reason why yourself.

    It is not working since your file is NOT open.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    Actually, links to other workbooks typically do work when their sources are not open. I have several other links in the same workbook that do so just fine when their source workbooks are closed.

    Thanks for the snide reply, though.
