    need a lookup formula to reference worksheets without opening them.

    I need to consolidate budgets for every state in the USA.

    Each State budget is in a central server under one directory “S:\\Budgets\22-FL.xlsx
    The two letters following the “22-##“ in the name file are for the State Abbreviation.
    Florida = FL , Montana =MO and so on.

    In the consolidation sheet, I would like to put a formula that looks for the Two letters in a column and then extract the information from that single state budget in the consolidation sheet column.

    For example, C:5 has FL

    So all formulas in column C: reference to “FL” budget “='S:\Budgets\[22-FL.xlsx]Sheet1'!$I$12

    Thank you!!

    Mauro

    ***Rather not use VB or have to open each budget sheet to accomplish this.

    Which version of Excel do you have? 10 is Windows - please update your profile.
