how to avoid the #REF when referring to a numbered file not yet created

Morning guys,

I have a master spreadsheet. It pulls information from numbered delivery sheets once they are created.

Is there a formula that I can use to link to a cell in a numbered sheet that has yet to be created?

='Lathams Documents:Delivery Notes:[DELIVERY REF 12358.xls]Del & Col Note'!$S$1

That is an example of the link, but when number 12358 isn't created yet, I just get the #REF

I look forward to your answer

Regards

Brian

=IFERROR(your formula,"")

or if you're using Excel 2003 or earlier

=IF(ISERROR(your formula),"",your formula)
