    Cell function problem

    The below formula is to return the quantity of the product from another sheet.
    =VLOOKUP(MID(CELL("filename"),FIND("[",CELL("filename"),1)+1,10),'Z:\PartList\[DESC.XLS]Sheet1'!$A:$C,3,0). I have individual sheets for products and one master sheet for quantity.All the file name for the products is the file name itself. So I can use the above formula.
    But the problem is when I press F9 for one product, the quantity for that product is applied to all the open files with the above formula. I know the problem is with =Cell("filename").
    Hope the problem is explained well. Need attachments? Any solution to stop changing quantity in all open files.
    Thanks,
    Itty.

    Rather than CELL("filename") you need to use a cell reference (any cell reference) otherwise the filename given is for filename of the last cell you changed, so try changing your 2 CELL functions to

    CELL("filename",A1)
