Index/indirect, REF problem

[SannyW]

Hey.

Is stuck with the problem of having a solution, but not in the way I hoped.

The code works when being in the same workbook. But here comes the problem, I am trying to get values from a closed workbook. And on top of that I didnt think about that the links gets hardcode inside the indirect.

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

Workbook1
Has dates on every row down to say 31. Here I have my above code with the match to the row I am at and creates Ex. "fr 8/3-2013". This then matches with a row in Workbook2.

Workbook2 looks like this:

B	C	D	E	F	G
	Eko
Dates	Sales
Fr 1/3-2013	300
Sa 2/3-2013	100
Su 3/3-2013	20
Mo 4/3-2013	50
Sum

Then there is more tables with same range below this one.

So im trying to find first MATCH (Ex. Eko), then go down 3 rows and -1 column to start a range from 1-31 rows. In this range MATCH the specific date and get the a value from another column (Ex. Sales column).

Does anyone have any ideas where to go next with this?

Hi, welcome to the forum

Your problem is that INDIRECT does not work on closed workbooks. An option may be to install the Morefuc add-in, found here...

Thank you Ford.
It would be the easier solution. Problem is that the file will be opened by multiple users and computers.

It does look like I need to re-think and find a new strategi..

This is an add-in that would be required on all computors that will use that file
