[mso] Re: Help Needed with Excel Formula

Herbz and Dave,
Thank you very much for your help on this formula. Actually, I had somehow 
ended up with the "=3C" in my explanation
and have no idea how. But I understood what you were saying, so I simply put 
the equal in the cell of my H drive, then 
clicked on E6 on my W drive spreadsheet and it worked like a charm. My formula 
wasn't real far off, but it was obviously 
too far off to work. Your way works much, much better. By the way, is it 
possible to open two spreadsheets from two different
workbooks at the same time and have them both showing?  When I attempted it, 
they just kept changing between the two, so
I had to keep clicking on the taskbar to bring one up, then click on the other 
to bring it up. It seems I remember there is some
key to do it, but I couldn't remember. It wasn't the shift or ctrl key. At any 
rate, I sure as heck can do it the other way if I
need to. Again, thank you very much. I can always count on you knowledgeable, 
kind folks for help!

Chuck H.

  Hi Chuck,

  How about opening both your H drive spreadsheet, as well as the source
  document on your W drive; In your H drive spreadsheet if you type =3D =
  and
  then click on the E6 cell in your "hawsey.chuck.xls" spreadsheet.

  After this close the W drive and the H drive spreadsheet should now have
  the complete path name to your source, this not only gives you the
  correct path name, but for future reference tells you how you were
  typing the path incorrectly.

  Hope this helps

  Herbz

  It's my "excel formula" dilemma again! I am on a network. I have a
  spreadsheet on my H drive, and I want the information from a cell on the
  W drive to appear in a cell in the spreadsheet on the H drive. The path
  to the folder on W drive is w:\employee files\accordantcare
  RN\2007\hawsey chuck. The workbook is called hawsey, chuck.xls. The
  workbook page is called annual and the cell is E6. In the excel cell on
  H drive, I'm entering=20

  =3D('w:\employee files\accordantcare RN\2007\[hawsey,chuck,
  hawsey.chuck.xls]summary'!E6)

  In other words, I want the number from the E6 cell on the W drive to
  appear in the C25 cell in the workbook on my H drive. I've tried it with
  and without all the apostrophes and quotes and such, and I simply cannot
  make it work. I think I must be close, but not enough to get excel to
  try and complete it for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Chuck H.
