    Linking cells to multiple workbooks

    Hi Everyone,

    I have a master workbook for summary and a folder with multiple workbooks.

    In my master workbook. Each cell is currently linked to the workbooks in that folder. Please see below

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The files in that folder is growing and I would like the cell formula to be in such a way that it will sum/calculate regardless of what the workbook name is.
    Is that possible? Right now the code works if I have specified the name of the workbook.

    Thanks

    Re: Linking cells to multiple workbooks

    I have Three Suggestions In this case:-

    1. You have to link each files reference manually

    2. Redirect the formula to cells for picking the file names for picking the values. Can be done with the help of Indirect.Ext of Morefunc Addin which will work with closed workbooks too..

    3. Use VBA to loop through the folder and add all the file references to formula


    If your problem is solved, then please mark the thread as SOLVED>>Above your first post>>Thread Tools>>

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. How do I go about doing the second or third suggestion? I would like the cell to calculate/sum the cell of any workbook (regardless of the workbooks name).
