Hi
I have been working with EXCEL within my job for 2 years now and this is a compeltely new issue to me, I have recently had my work PC upgraded to windows 7 and EXCEL 2013 which is when this issue began.
When I attempt to run a VLookup against a file, instead of linking the correct file I am presented with an error whereby EXCEL is changing/shortening the file name resulting in the lookup not working because the file does not exists (example below)
- VLOOKUP Returns: =VLOOKUP(A2,'[SCRAP RATE Rolling 12 Months (in...,20,0)
- VLOOKUP Should return: =VLOOKUP(A2,'[SCRAP RATE Rolling 12 Months (in AA10).xlsx],20,0)
it is not compelting the file name and I cannot find any information or guidance online to suggest what is casuing this to happen, this also does not occur on every file I look at just the majority and again I can see no differnce between these files (all are .xlsx etc)
if anyone can shed any light or a solution I would be very greatful or if you require further information please let me know.
Thanks
Si
