using cell contents in a formula
I am trying to use a formula to look up weekly figures. Unfortunately the
figures that I need to use are across daily workbooks. I have created the required reference in a cell using CONCATENATE but when i try to link to this in the LOOKUP formula it treats the contents as text rather than a reference. any ideas? |

using cell contents in a formula
Use the concatenated address in conjunction with the INDIRECT
function. Hope this helps. Pete On Sep 13, 10:56 am, theadore wrote: I am trying to use a formula to look up weekly figures. Unfortunately the figures that I need to use are across daily workbooks.
