Getting data from Several Work Books

W

WayneF

Dear all,

After some advis here,

I have several workbooks all with different names but in the same
directory

I.E.

Excel1.xls
Excel2.xls
Excel3.xls
Excel4.xls

In each of the above I want to get out the value for say A2.

And put it in a totals.xls in the same directory.

I started to do it and I got this as my value ..

='[Excel1.xls]Expense Report'!$R$20 <-------- This returned the
correct value.

When i opened the document again it asked if i wanted to "update" the
workboog ... whick i did want to have the updated info, the problem now is
that it changed the cell value to this ...

='C:\Documents and Settings\Wayne\Desktop\Wayne''s expenses\Weeks
2006\[Excel1.xls]Expense Report'!$R$20

Which is really not what i want because i will not be able to share this
workbook !!

Any ideas or better ways to do this ?

Cheers,

Wayne
