Hey guys,
I'm trying to use INDIRECT.EXT to reference a cell in another workbook. However, I keep getting a #REF! error.
In cell L2: '\\IN-ACCOUNTING1\Accounting\EOP_workpapers\Books\AAL\2012\04\[CN3008R_CGS.csv]CN3008R_CGS'!F9
L2 is a concatenation as follows:
=CONCATENATE("'",Sheet2!$J$5,Sheet2!$F$14,"\",Sheet2!$F$13,"\","[","CN3008R_",K2,".csv","]","CN3008R_",K2,"'","!","F9")
Where...
Sheet2!$J$5 =""&"\\IN-ACCOUNTING1\Accounting\EOP_workpapers\Books\AAL\"
Sheet2!$F$14 =""&D7 (D7 =2012)
Sheet2!$F$13 =""&"0"&D6 (D6 =4)
and where K2 =CGS
In cell H2, I've entered: =INDIRECT.EXT(L2)
Now, I still get a reference error. I've double check the file path, by simply referencing the cell i want in the cell L1. L1 shows the correct number and when the referenced workbook is closed, its file path reads:
='\\IN-ACCOUNTING1\Accounting\EOP_workpapers\Books\AAL\2012\04\[CN3008R_CGS.csv]CN3008R_CGS'!$F$9
I've double checked for trailing spaces and I've tried changing the name of the worksheet to see if it would make any difference. So far, nothing has worked.
Can you guys help me see what I'm doing wrong here. I feel like I need a few pairs of fresh eyes on this. Thanks for all your help, guys.
Phil
