I am attempting to simplifiy some template files I created for other non-Excel users. I would like to make it easier to have users update formulas, by having the formulas reference a cell for the tab or file to pull data from. Eample formula: COUNTIF('DATAFILE.XLS'!$J$2:$J$8000,C4). I would like to repalce DATAFILE.XLS to reference a cell vaule. This way all formulas would ppoint to one cell where the user would type in the name of the file to use.

Hope this makes sense....

Anyone ever try this?

Thanks!
