    Referencing data in multiple workbooks

    Hello,

    My company puts out a daily report that I would like to gather information from quickly and easily. The file name is always the same with just the date changing. Is there any way I could use excel to reference a workbook from a specific date? My current thinking is that I can somehow insert a separate cells text (a specific date) within the file name I am trying to pull data from. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Hi shism001,

    welcome to the forum.
    How you are fetching data? i.e, using lookup functions or what ?
    you can use indirect function to append data with file name which can extract data from respective workbook, provided that workbook is open at that time as Indirect function does'nt work on closed workbooks... thanks.
