Formula Help

[mculver]

I have an excel worksheet where I am linking cells together from two different files. Within one excel sheet I am trying to find a formula that will grab the contents of a link cell including the full path to the linked file.

Hopefully i am explaining correctly. Here is an example.

A group of cells is linked into a spreadsheet when i click on the linked cell the formula bar indicates file and contents of the linked cell.

='[X-nth Master Panel Schedule v1.04c.xlsm]PANEL'

However if I reference this linked cell in a formula only the text in the cell (ie 'PANEL') shows up.

I want the entire path and text to show up. How can I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
