What is the proper syntax for the offet command

What is the proper syntax for the offet command

What is the proper syntax for the offet command

(OP)
I am trying to get excel to reference cells with the offset command. After following the directions in the help menu I have managed to get the offset to reference cells in other workbooks.

What I need to do is have the offset command read the various filenames from adjacent cells and return the appropriate values from the other files.

If I type the filename and cell location directly into the offset command it works perfectly. If I type the filename into an adjacent cell and then type the cell address into the offset command it displays the contents of the adjacent cell rather than the value from the other file.

Any help is appreciated. I am trying to avoid writing a macro to paste the filename into the offset command line.

Thanks

Try looking into the indirect command.
