Hi everyone,

I have excel spreadsheets saved in a shared dropbox folder so that myself and colleagues can access and update. I have entered formulas to pull in information however its looking on my C drive which obviously returns an error when a colleague opens the spreadsheet.

Current formula using: =IF(B410="","",(VLOOKUP(@$B$398:$B$500,'C:\Users\User\DROPBOXFOLDER\[Shipment Details.xlsx]RM Formulas'!$E$1:$S$550,4,FALSE)))

The formula works for me but returns #N/A for colleagues. Is there a way to use Dropbox files without looking at the C drive? I have searched online and can't find anything useful.

Thanks in advance. Stacey.

Thank you for the reply @rlv01 - this hasn't worked and now returns a #NAME error for myself. I did notice that excel has updated the formula so that @ is before filepath and environ.

Formula now looks like the below.

=IF(B413="","",(VLOOKUP(@$B$398:$B$500,@filepath="'C:\Users\" &@Environ("username") & "\VECL Dropbox\[Shipment Details.xlsx]RM Formulas!$E$1:$S$550",4,FALSE)))

Any other suggestions?
