Indirect function with files closed.

J

Jerri Sanders

Problem: I'm needing to pull data from a particular cell
from several files, (could be 50 or more), without opening
all the files. Since I will be labeling my file names
with numbers like 100.xls, 101.xls, 102.xls... I have a
concatenating function built that will create a string
telling excel where to go get the answer. This way I do
not have to type the file names of all the files. Now I
just need excel to perform the directive. And so far
INDIRECT is the only thing that I have found that will
carry out the instruction but the problem is the file must
be open. Are there any work arounds for my problem?
