Hi
I want to write a formula =sum() and select cells from different file as an argument to this function.
Lets say I have the formula in a file called ABC.xlsx and the data in another file called XYZ.xlsx.
I noticed that to do that I need to open both file in the same excel session (program) otherwise I wont be able to select cells from XYZ file. For example if I opened ABC.xlsx and then went to File-->open-->XYZ.xlsx
then it will work, means I can select cells from XYZ
But If i click on Excel program again to open a new session. One session has ABC and another session has XYZ
then I would be able to select cells from XYZ. Is that by design? Thank you.
