I have a spreadsheet with multiple references to an external sheet
located on a website.
Every one of these cells has the line something like:
='http://webpage.aspx/[EXCELBOOK]FirstPage!$A$1'
with the specific A1 reference different each time. What I would like
is to be able to use something like INDIRECT to simply write
='http://webpage.aspx/<<LOCAL CELL REFERENCE>>FirstPage!$A$1'
So that I could change the local cell reference to the name of
different workbooks and it would change to the A1 value of the
workbook of that name.
I know you can do
=INDIRECT(CELLREFERENCE)
but CELLREFERENCE needs to be a workbook that is open, which means I
have to manually open the workbook first, which defeats my purpose.
I hope I was clear enough...
Thanks for any assistance in advance.

That includes =indirect.ext(). But I have no idea if it'll work in your
situation.
