    As far as I know Data tables won't work over multile workbooks.

    can you upload a small sample file? With out seeing the other sheet and how it flows I personanlly find it hard to vissulalize. It would be easier to see what the final outcome needs to be and how the formulas work together.

    thanks for all your help.
    please see attached simple layout of what I am trying to achieve.
    I have added comments to the cells to try to explain.

    in the real life example the "data input sheet" will be hundreds of rows long. so hundreds of different individual input values.

    also the "calc" workbook is very complicated, with multiple sheets and many many formula.
    I just want to input my values into the start of this and output each answer at the end.


    thank you

    I have actually worked it out. but thanks for your help.

    Basically I do require to use "data tables" but in order to use them across workbooks you need to set up a proxy cell. as the data table function must be contained in the one sheet.
