Hi all,

I'm trying to present (text) data from multiple cells in another
workbook in a single cell. I've tried the following formula but it
returns a #VALUE! in my destination cell:

='[Project1.xls]Dependencies'!$A$6, '[Project1.xls]Dependencies'!$A$7

Any ideas on if this is possible?

TIA,

SamuelT

Use the "&" operator to concatenate texts (or the Concatenate function)

Try something like:
='[Project1.xls]Dependencies'!$A$6  & ", " &
'[Project1.xls]Dependencies'!$A$7
