Hi teamies. I have an interesting problem that I cant seem to find a solution to.
I have two workbooks, lets call them BookA and BookB. BookA is left closed most of the time and is accessed through Sharepoint. BookB is updated several times a day (also accessed through sharepoint). BookB has information entered into it that is automatically picked up by BookA due to VLOOKUP formulas built into it. BookB then needs to reflect the resultant data from BookA in the same worksheet in BookB. As I said, even when closed, BookA picks up the data entered into BookB no problem but the info is not being passed back to BookB.
I have tried the usual VLOOKUP, Index Match, Indirect and also the infamous IndirectEx in my formulas but to no avail.
BookA is a computational worksheet calculating leave, Sick, Training etc and converting the resultant data into available hours. This workbook is very large and is too cumbersome to open each time (7.5mb) across the network. Besides, BookB is one of a set of workbooks (seven in total) representing various work areas that need to update BookA, most times all at the same time (as it is currently doing so flawlessly), another reason that BookA cannot be opened every time.
I did hold out hope that IndirectEx was going to be the solution, maybe I am using it wrong? Upshot is that I am looing for a solution to this problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.
