    Question INDIRECT function for closed workbook

    Hi there,

    I have a question: can I use the INDIRECT function for a cell from a closed workbook? If not, please give me an alternative solution.
    Thanks all who tried to help me.

    i think the indirect.ext is what you want.
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,

    Ok, and how i do that? I searched in the Function Library at "More Functions" and I couldn't download nothing. Is another way for that? It's free that MOREFUNC?

    Re: INDIRECT function for closed workbook

    I've searched a lot for MOREFUNC and I still don't find any link to download it. I appreciate an answer for my questions:
    1. the patch is free license?
    2. it's compatible with Excel 2010? cause i heard some crashes.
    3. Excel 2013 solved the problem with the dynamic link to closed workboks for INDIRECT function?
    4. is there a reliable alternative solution for INDIRECT function with closed workbooks?

    Thank you.

    A picture may be worth a thousand words, BUT, a sample Workbook is worth a thousand screenshots!
