The apostrophe in this formula comments out the rest of the line:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(" '[filename.xls]",$A$2,"'!$AQ$466"))"
I've tried putting it in double quotes,
"=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(" "'"[MonthlyTracking.xls]",$A$2,""'"!$AQ$466"))"
but it gives the error "expected end of statement"
Why are you using the concatenate function?

I'm accessing a sheet in a different file based on the sheet name (month by month it changes) so in march I want to access the march sheet, but in april I want to access the april sheet
$A$2 contains the sheet name
The sheetname contained in A2 belongs to which file? The monthly tracking file?
yes, the monthly tracking file
Oops i missed out another element - what is the sheetname which contains A2?
SEMreport.xls
How can it be having an extension of .xls? Is the tab named SEMreport.xls?
you need to double all the quotes inside the formula
