How to do it in excel?

Eric

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it in excel?
In cell A1, there is a text "0001",
In cell B1, there is a filing structure
='E:\directory\0001\[file.xls]sheet1'!M14
I would like to insert any 4-digit code into filing structure for receiving
value.
If I type in "0005" in cell A1, then the directory will return in cell B1.
='E:\directory\0005\[file.xls]sheet1'!M14
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Use the INDIRECT function.
Perhaps =INDIRECT("'E:\directory\"&A1&"\[file.xls]sheet1'!M14")

.... but remember that INDIRECT only works with files that are open, so in
that case the path may be largely irrelevant. If the file isn't open, you
may need the morefunc add-in and INDIRECT.EXT

About the morefunc add-in and INDIRECT.EXT,
the page you have requested cannot be found or is no longer available.
Do you have any suggestions on where to download this ext?
Thank you very much for any suggestions
