Link to other excel files

Hi

As text I need to get the number in the cell from another document:

'C:\Test\data\sensors\[Pressure xbar 11283 Motor 18092020.xlsx]Certificate'!$H$15

 

I want to combine the file name from cell D8 and C27 plus text. I tried:

=VALUE("'C:\Test\data\sensors\["&C27&D8&".xlsx]Certificate'!$H$15")

 

In C27 I have the first part of the file name and in D8 I have the date which is a part of the filename.

But this does not have the right format

Any ideas?

It could be INDIRECT(), but to use it both files are to be opened

@Sergei Baklan Thanks. That is working.

@pbjerre , you are welcome
