Some time ago, with help from this group, I learned how to use named
references, with names contained in worksheet cells. (=indirect (A1) or
=indirect(NamedCell) etc.)
I now wish to use this general technicique to create a reference across
spreadsheets. For example, I have the link
='K:\DistPlan\2008crs\Costs 2008.xls'!FebruaryTCN
This works just fine. However, I want to retrieve cells based on an
indirect referenct to the equivalent of FebruaryTCN... MarchTCN... AprilTCN
etc, essentially replacing the text 'FebruaryTCN' with something like
indirect(A1) or concatenate(A1,"TCN"). The references will be computed based
on other information in the sheet containing the computed indirect cell
references.
Again, any help will be greatly appreciated.
