Hi,
Please see the attached sample data that roughly replicates what I'm trying to do in a set formula. My ultimate goal will be get all this data into a table format, however, this attempt is a short term fix to try to 'pull' data into a template. Maybe I'm overthinking it.....
Also, I changed the subject above....somehow that got selected when I posted the message.

Ok, don't know if I got it right...
So you want D30 to have file name and selected tab changed dynamically when you select different values in your C4 and C5 list values?
What is $C$6 in D30?
Anyway, if this is close to what you want, here's what I did.
Because I don't know if your file names on SharePoint will be of same length, I'm getting file name only in column E using flash fill. So I ended up having File1 to File12 in E14 to E25.
Next, changed D5 vlookup to =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C5,C14:E25,3,FALSE)," ") to include E column with file names and display file name in D5.
Now, in D30 put =CONCAT("[",D5,"]",C4,"!",$C$6). Again, don't know what that C6 is, because that cell is blank in your file.

Thanks for your help...gave me some good ideas. I ended up finding the exact direction I was trying to go on youtube with ExcellsFun using the INDIRECT function. It looks little trial/error on the syntax, but was able to create a template that pulls data in from multiple files. All files are located in a SP folder, but, the only downside is that all files do need to be open to pull the data. It is a tremendous time saver for some financial analysis directly from some static files.
