Excell 2003
I put = cell("filename") in cell A1 on every sheet to display the full pathname of that sheet.
it seems that the path does not always display the correct sheet name- rather it seems
that when changing from one sheet to another the path is not always updated.
Is there a switch that needs to be activated to ensure that the path is updated correctly when changing sheets on the same worksheet?
I am running excel 2003 and I am looking for a function that will display the filename or part of the file name in a cell. I know you can do this as part of a header or footer but is there anyway to have an individual cell display the file name of the document?

Both the location of the file is the same and I have spelt it right. Im not sure what is causing this error as it let me change in a different sheet to the file name as above.
My other option is to link manually about 500 cells which i dont think is an option.
I am trying to display the Filename in a cell on my worksheet. However, when I enter the =Cell("filename"), it provides the full path (C:/Documents......Cost Summary.xls) How can I display only the filename without the path?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the value of a cell as the sheet name in the array range for my index function, pointing to data on a different sheet. Here is the formula I have now, which points directly to the other sheet (and works fine):
=INDEX('SheetName'!A4:BE189,MATCH(A87,'SheetName'!A4:A189,0)+36,54)
This formula takes the value in cell A87 and looks for it on the sheet called "SheetName", then returns the value in a cell down 36 cells and across 54 cells. This is perfect as is.
I want to be able to have it look something like this:
=INDEX('CellValue where CellValue=sheetname'!A4:BE189,MATCH(A87,''CellValue where CellValue=sheetname'!A4:A189,0)+36,54). I have tried using the INDIRECT function here to get it to read just the sheetname, but cannot seem to get it to work.
I need to include in my roster sheet that if a client is "present" my instructor will check the box. This (idealistically) should add +1 on the column labeled "classes attended" in sheet labeled 5 groups. I've been at this for 3 hours and still have gotten NOWHERE
View 5 Replies View RelatedCell F4 contains a worksheet name which was “calculated” by an IF function (IF something, then ‘T2’, otherwise ‘T3’).
Cell F5 must then look at either sheet T2 or sheet T3 (depending on what it is told to do by reference to cell F4 just above) and report what it finds in cell A1 there.
Clearly I must use the INDIRECT function. But I have tried every imaginable combination of single and double quotation marks to produce the equivalent of
=T2!A1
all to no avail.
Is it something to do with letter and number combinations?
Alternatively, how else should I achieve what I want?
PS F4 could have been “calculated” by any other means, e.g. =MONTH(TODAY()).
How do I incorporate sheetnames into the vlookup function? I need the following sheet name: SALES (located in A1) to be incorporated into the function: vlookup("Sales"?,a1,n84,2,false). .

CELL("filename") gives you the name of the current workbook but if you switch to another workbook and then come back, the name has switched to the other workbook. You have to refresh to make the name switch back to that of the workbook you used the formula in.
What alternatives exist, short of writing some VBA, which is an option, to fetching the name of the workbook via a formula and having it remain the name of that workbook when you go away and come back again?

Is it possible to insert the filename of another excel file based on the information in a cell within your current file?
I have a file named 12-07.xlsx, which has a sheet Data 12-07, and that sheet has information all through it. I want to populate a cell in a new file with inform from the 12-07.xlsx cell B3.
I know the Formula is ='[12-07.xlsx]Data 12-07'!$B$3
Is there a way that I can use a cell within the current file, say cell B1 (which has a value of 12-07 - which is the same as the file I want) to populate the filename? Something like
='["=B1".xlxs]Data 12-07'!$B$3 (whereas "=B1" would be 12-07)
I know that will not work as is, but is this concept doable?
How can I have the filename stored in a certain cell of the worksheet?

View 9 Replies View RelatedOne folder on the drive contains excel files, which are created daily from a template. I use these files, the 20 most recent days' worth, to create an analysis file. This new file is organized in rows, starting with the date. The files I am using are all saved in the form "Stats yyyy mm-dd.xls" The first line of each row of the analysis spreadsheet starts with the date, in the format "yyyy mm-dd". Is it possible to create a macro, or in another way, for the analysis spreadsheet to automate the reading-in of data from these different files?

I have a file name typed into cell C3. I want the formula in cell C4 (C5,C6,C7......) to include the name of the file typed into cell C3. The formula in cell C5 shows what the content should look like.
I want the users to be able to type the file name in Row 3 (C3,D3,E3.......) and have the formulas below them insert the file name and access the information from the files (yes the files can/will be open when we do this).
I need to to have at least twenty different formulas (rows) referencing specific cells in these files.
The formulas would look like this ='["File name from C3"]Audit Information'!$D$35.
I am hoping it may only be a syntax thing and someone here can "show me the way" I have tried &$C$3& with and without quotations with no luck.

There are hundreds of similar formulas, all referencing different cells in the same file. The “1001” bit refers to the date, and next month it will need to say “1002” to pick up the new month's file. I would like to hold the “1002” bit in a cell (say A1), so that at month end, I just change that one cell, and all the formulas will point to the new file, but I’m not sure how to work that into the formula.
