    Linking To different workbooks using formula's

    Hi All,

    I am new to the site but have used it a lot(if you know what i mean).
    I have a summary workbook that links to various other data workbooks and i am sick of writing the formula's to link them to the cells in the other data workbooks.

    I would like to know if there is anyway of using a formula to link them.
    The data workbooks are numbered by week Eg "Week 1" so i have been trying to use indirect.ext and a concatenate but have had no luck so far.

    My formula currently is
    =indirect.ext(s:\line 1\line 2\line 3\("["&B1&".xls]"&"Sheet1'!$A$1")
    In cell B1 is "week 1" without the "marks.

    Hopefully someone is able to help me as this is driving me insane.

    BTW i have downloaded the add in of morefunc so that the function of .ext works.

    Thanks in advance

    It probably should be more like:

    =INDIRECT.EXT("'s:\line 1\line 2\line 3\["&B1&".xls]Sheet1'!$A$1")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
