    Find linked excel document based on value

    Hi I want excel to look up a specific value in an excel document but I want it to do so based on the value of p2

    i.e if p2= "apples" I want it to look up

    ='C:\folder\folder\[apples.xlsx]Sheet1'!$D$7

    if p2 = "pears"

    ='C:\folder\folder\[pears.xlsx]Sheet1'!$D$7

    is this possible

    many thanks

    Dave
