That would make a lot of sense then. &nbsp;I will look up syntax and give it a try.<br />

Thanks for quick response.

I am having a problem with Microsoft Excel not opening links to a network location. <br />
The cell contains the following.<br />
=SUMIFS('\\servername\9 - FOLDER\P P G, Inc\Billing Invoices and Settlement\1809\[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$J:$J,'\\serverna<wbr />me\9 - FOLDER\P P G, Inc\Billing Invoices and Settlement\1809\[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$A:$A,RIGHT(A47,2<wbr />),'\\serve<wbr />rname\9 - FOLDER\P P G, Inc\Billing Invoices and Settlement\1809\[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$D:$D,RIGHT(H1,10<wbr />))<br />
<br />
And it will not work.<br />
However if I open the file being referenced in the link in the same excel instance, the cell contents automatically change to <br />
<br />
'=SUMIFS('[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$J:$J,'[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$A:$A,RIGHT(A47,2<wbr />),'[UUT PPG-201810.xlsx]UUT Details'!$D:$D,RIGHT(H1,10<wbr />))<br />
<br />
and it starts working.<br />
<br />
Any ideas what would keep it from working with the file still closed? &nbsp;Path is verified correct. &nbsp;Tried full quotes on pathname.
