I have the following function set up to dynamically pull a value from the preceding sheet in a file:

Function PrevSheet()

Dim xIndex As Long
Application.Volatile
xIndex = RCell.Worksheet.Index
If xIndex > 1 Then _
PrevSheet = Worksheets(xIndex - 1).Range(RCell.Address)
End Function

My problem is that it works in one file, but when I copy the code to a different file and try to use it, I get the #VALUE! error.

Please help!

Where do you declare RCell and what value has been assigned to it?
