Hello, I have a question that hopefully has a simple answer. I am trying to do a countif in another workbook. I enter my formula:
=COUNTIF('path[filename]tab'!$AH$11:$AH$300,"yes")
So this formula works fine when I have the other workbook open, but the next day when I open up the file (with the formula in it) and I click "update" button on the "this workbook contains links to other data sources" popup I get a #VALUE! error in the cell. Does anyone know how to correct this?
As soon as I open up the linked workbook the error goes away, but I didn't think this is how its supposed to function. I thought you didn't have to open up any linked documents. All the documents are on my desktop, so its not a share drive issue.
To test it out, I tried doing just a simple link to cell A1 in the other workbook and that works fine, so I'm thinking its the COUNTIF function that causing the problem.
Thanks for any help!
