    Import cells from closed excel files

    Hi all,

    I am trying to import a row of data from another closed excel file w/o Macros.
    Let's suppose that in an opened excel (OpenedExcel.xls) file in cell A1 I have a text with the path of the closed excel file (ex: R:\Dati\ClosedExcel.xls)
    Is there a way to copy one cell of the ClosedExcel in the OpenedExcel using the above mentioned path?
    (I need to use a path because I need to copy multiple cells from multiple closed excel files).
    I've seen that there is INDIRECT() function but seems that it doesn't work with closed files...

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Import cells from closed excel files

    Thank you for your answer but let's suppose that I have to import data from multiple closed excel files and I don't want to write each time:
    A1: R:\Dati\[ClosedExcel1.xls]SheetName!Location Cell
    B1: R:\Dati\[ClosedExcel2.xls]SheetName!Location Cell
    C1: R:\Dati\[ClosedExcel3.xls]SheetName!Location Cell
    ...

    is there a way to specify only the name of the files (ClosedExcel1, ...) and then using concatenate to create the full path and then using the full path in a formula like the one you have suggested me?
    Thanks
