Formula from closed workbook?

O

Oswald

Please advise me is it possible to read/extract a formula from a
closed workbook eg. =IF(ISNUMBER(N26),MAX(N26*$N$2,M26),$O$1) from
say cell(26, 15) of a closed workbook, I've tried so far using
variations of ExecuteExcel4Macro() and an ADO routine but have only
returned values. I have a number of similar workbooks where the
contents of that cell can have 1 of 4 different formulas that I need
to determine.
Thanks in advance Oswald

I don't have a way.

But I'd just turn off screenupdating, open the other workbook, grab what I need,
and close that other workbook.

It seems much easier to me.

SUMPRODUCT might be what you are looking for.
Depending on how many calculations you have to do it can be a bit slow.
