I have a YTD report that has columns for each month. The KPIs listed for each month are each pulled from individual month-end reports which I drop into the folder at the end of the month. I want to automate the external references to pull the data from the correct month based on the column header. For example, at the end of May, I will drop the May report in the folder. I want my document to pull the correct data based on the column header (May, in this case) so it automatically knows to change the external reference to "May 2013 KPI Report" instead of "April 2013 KPI Report."
Report names and cell references are constant through to each report -- what's in A4 in one report will be in A4 in all reports.
When I "front-load" the formulas to anticipate files that are not there yet, it causes #REF errors that carry through the document and mess up totals. Is there any way to possibly automate this process?
