    INDIRECT doesn't work on closed workbooks. You've discovered that. If this is a MUST, then you'll have to install more functionality into your Excel program. Only people with the same installed ADD-IN will be able to use your sheet.

    The ADD-IN is called MoreFunc...read all about it here:
    http://www.ashishmathur.com/tag/morefunc/

    See step #4 of that page for instructions on downloading and installing

    Go into TOOLS > ADDINS and activate MoreFunc.

    Now you have many, many new functions available to you. Any place you used INDIRECT, now use INDIRECT.EXT instead and it will work on closed workbooks.
