Reference To Another Workbook
Jan 12, 2007
I made a VLOOKUP formula referring to another workbook. The workbook name was 1099.XLS and there was only one worksheet in it, also called 1099.
So the reference I used was [1099.XLS]1099! but I have since realised that Excel changes that as I enter it, to '1099'!
What I would like to know is, is this a one-off action by Exel, and why? Have I used the correct reference in general -
[workbookname.XLS]worksheetname!
and did Excel's actions come about because there was only one worksheet, or because the worksheetname was the same as the workbookname, or what?

I want see if it's possible to take the name of the source workbook and put it in a cell in my destination workbook and then use that as the reference in formulas. The source document title includes a date that changes yearly, or in some instances changes entirely, and I want to keep the formulas in the destination workbook intact. I don't want to have to go to every instance where I have used the source workbook and change the title. Instead I would like to copy the source workbook title, paste it into the destination in the same cell and have that propogate the needed changes into the destination workbook formulas.

I have a workbook "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" and another workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" The "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" workbook has all the formulas that pull data from the "Weekly Field Reports-Master Copy" workbook and populates a financial report of that week's field unit production.
When I save the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report Job #1" and then save the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" is there a way to automatically change the formulas in the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" workbook to now pull data from the "Weekly Field Report Job #1" workbook instead of the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook???
Currently I am manually changing the formulas in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" to reference the data in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report Job #1". Otherwise the formulas pull the data from the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy".

I believe this is the last piece of the puzzle of a project I'm working on. Here are the components I have to work with:
Component 1:
VB:
Dim file As Range
Set file = Range("rgFileToBeChecked")
'this sets "file" as the full path

I am having trouble inserting a cell reference into a formula. I have a spreadseet that uses data from another workbook. The workbook name changes monthly, so i'd like to be able to place the workbook name in a cell and have the formulas in the spreadsheet use that cell to get the name of the workbook to get the data from. So:
if, for eg, the formula in my spreadsheet is ='[test data file.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B$4+'[test data file.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B$6
I would like to be able to enter test dta file.xlsx into cell A2 of my spreadsheet and replace a reference to A2 into the formulas. I've tried several ways, but can't seem to get it to work.

I have a workbook called "udf test.xlsm" with an "age" udf. How do I reference this from another workbook? If I replace the space with an underscore in the workbook name then I can call it like so:
=udf_test.xlsm!age(A1)
but with a space, it doesn't work. I tried this:
='udf test.xlsm'!age(A1)
and this
='[udf test.xlsm]'!age(A1)
but I get "Invalid Reference" errors.

I am using:
Code:
Dim Aname As String
Aname = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("D2").Value & "Pricing"
Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Aname & ".xls"
to create a new workbook. I need to copy 2 columns from the original workbook/worksheet to the one being created though. I can get the the original easy enough, but then getting back to the newly created book is proving difficult.
(the 2 columns being copied are filtered to what is needed and I have used the below to copy it, yes I know that is 3 rows but I couldnt get it to copy just E and G at the same time to the lastrow without including F)
Code:
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
With .Range("E2:G" & LastRow)
.Select.copy
End With

I am trying to write a formula that will pick the data out of a closed workbook.
Indirect works but it doesnt help because the workbook needs to be open and there are literaly hundreds of workbooks to sort thru.
Is there a way other than find and replace to have a formula pull data from a specific cell in another workbook, based on say cell A1 or A110?

I have a formula that calculates data from the workbook that the formula is in. I need it to do the same calculations only pull the data from another workbook. Here is a sample formula:
= SUM(X1504 + SUMPRODUCT((H1:H394=73)*(U1:U394="NVLIV"),S1:S394))
Would I do something to the nature of:
=SUM(C:/sample.xls[Sheet1$x1504] + SUMPROD...etc...?
Basically how do you reference another workbook that is closed?

I have a master workbook, meeting1.xls which is used on a daily basis. All of the macros saved in this workbook naturally refer to Windows("Meeting1.xls").Activate.
However, I want to be able to open Meeting1.xls save it as a new name (for today's details) and then populate it.....as well as have the Macros pick up that new file name (rather than always looking for Meeting1.xls.)
I've tried saving Meeting1 as a template file and that didn't seem to work either. When I save it as a new name, the macro always searches for the original name.

Ive just finished writing a macro that copies data from different parts of one workbook into a new workbook. However after doing all that my boss now informs me that the first workbook will be renamed regularly.
Is there a way adding a reference to a workbook that is not dependant on the name? Possibly declare it as a variable at the beginning or something? The indexing is not possible either as they might have multiple Spreadsheets open at any one time.

I have a master workbook that I reference data from hundreds of excels on.
I am trying to reference the cell "BU7" that has the workbook name (NT-13-001) in it, to reference sheet name "Purchase Order" at cell "H13".
Next line I would like to reference the cell "BU8" that has the workbook name (NT-13-002) in it, to reference sheet name "Purchase Order" at cell "H13".
The computer path is K:FRG TOOL REQ2013NT FormsNT-13-001
This is the formula I have tried... I have also attempted the INDIRECT function & Hyperlink GO TO.
=IFERROR('K:FRG TOOL REQ2013NT Forms["&DU7&".xlsx]Purchase Order'!$H$13,"")

So finally got my sumrpod working using this formula
=SUMPRODUCT(1*('Q:Documents13-14 FCGP CONTRACTING13-14 TrackingSouthPac - Team Use Only[South Pac Load Tracker - MAR14.xlsm]SPECIALS TEAM NZ'!$C8:$C10000=A5))
Is there a way i can link 'Q:Documents13-14 FCGP CONTRACTING13-14 TrackingSouthPac - Team Use Only[South Pac Load Tracker - MAR14.xlsm] to a cell so that when the next months tracker is created and the filename changes i simply change the filename in the cell which im using to reference the filepath/filename.
e.g A1 = South Pac Load Tracker - MAR14.xlsm
Formula would read =SUMPRODUCT(1*('Q:Documents13-14 FCGP CONTRACTING13-14 TrackingSouthPac - Team Use Only[' & a1 & ;]SPECIALS TEAM NZ'!$C8:$C10000=A5))

I do a payroll workbook for my small company. Each sheet inside the workbook is a month. Each sheet totals the monthly labor categories. I would like to keep a "year to date" total on each employee and therefore would have to reference each sheet.
Setting up a formula (or tell me where to look) on how to total worksheets inside a workbook?
Example: the workbook contains a total of 12 sheets, representing the 12 months of the year. Add "cell reference" from sheet 1 to sheet 2 to sheet 3 to reach a total, then when sheet 4 is completed it contains the cumulative totals of all 4 sheets, etc., etc. Where I can look at this "year to date total" and compare to last years "year to date total".

I have a Workbook that has a macro that, as of now, is referencing the Workbook's file name. I'd like it to just be referencing the worksheet itself (it is in the same workbook) so that when the file name is changed, the macro still works.
I know which part needs to be changed... just not what to!
Code:
Sub CopyData()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim DstWkb As Workbook
Dim DstWks As Worksheet
Dim R As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Dim RngEnd As Range
Dim SrcCols() As Variant
Dim SrcWks As Worksheet

Just wondering if there is a way to indirectly reference a workbook in a formula?
For example, suppose A1 has the path/filename of the workbook I want to reference.
So in another cell I want to do, say, a VLOOKUP(A2,A1,5), where A2 is the lookup value. This way, if I have multiple workbooks I want to look at, I can specify them all in various cells, and simply have the formula look at the right cell to perform the lookup.
I've played with INDIRECT and get something close if I do
=INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!A1:AJ1500")
but that just returns the contents of A1 in the target sheet.

how to go about or refer me to how exactly you assign a closed workbook to be active. I know this sounds off and its probably the wrong way to word it so here's my problem. I am developing a macro in Visual Basic 2005 using VB. I have a connection string that looks like this:
Private m_sConn4 As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:2005.xls;" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""
What I need to do is connect to it and update which I have done successfully, then save it as 2006.xls. Is there some sort of m_sConn4.SaveAs or something of that nature.
