If I want to look up a cell value in on another sheet within the same workbook I might use

=Sheet1!A1

What do I use to lookup a value in another workbook

My Broken Attempt

Answer : Lookup a cell value in another workbook question

Also you would normally have back slashes rather than forward slashes in the file path......

Simplest way to get the syntax is to open both files if you can then in the cell where you want the data put an equal sign then switch back to the source workbook, click required cell and then ENTER to take you back to original workbook. Now close source and you'll see the correct path in the cell.....
