Is there any way to call a cell's value from an external workbook without the need to have the source workbook opened?

For instance the below code throwing "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range".
Code:
Workbooks("wb1.xlsx").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") = Workbooks("wb2.xlsx").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
