    Parse string value as part of formula?

    I have a large number of seperate files that I would like to compile together into a single book. To do this, I want to tell it to reference a certain column for the name of the book, which amounts to parsing that string and then using that value in the formula to find the value.

    Something like =[EVALUATE(filename)]Worksheet!B2

    Is there a way to do this without VB?

    You can use INDIRECT if the source workbook is open (it doesn't work with closed workbooks).
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.
