I am wanting to compile a bunch of data from other workbooks that are all in similar format.
I want to setup a single cell that tells all the other cells which file to reference for each group of analysis I have.
I know how to link specific cells to other workbook files. Although in order to make this run smoother and a lot less manual entering I want to have the ability to have a cell that tells where the file is that the rest of the cells reference.
So if A1 is the cell that references the workbook file that is not part of the current workbook then cells B1, C1, etc will know that it needs ='[Filename]Sheet Name' and the designated cell to pull from the other workbook.
So if B1 is supposed to display cell H113 from the other workbook it should reference A1 and insert ='[Filename]Sheet Name' and then attach H113 to the ='[Filename]Sheet Name'H113
Here is an example with filenames and sheet names included
A1: '\\SERVER\Property\[ABC Inc - 123 Main St - Property Analysis.xlsx]2012 Season' - This is where the file is located.
B1: =IF(A1<>"",A1 with H113 cell attached to end of string, "")
C1: =IF(A1<>"",A1 with H114 cell attached to end of string, "")
Note: A1 would be entered manually and if possible have the rest of the sheet fill itself out.
Is this possible to do?
Hopefully that is explained correctly, please let me know if I need to explain it differently.
Thanks for any help!
