I can see no reason why the formula you have in 
AD6 should not work equally well with values in 
AE6 and so on drawn from another document file - 
as here in file2 from file1.  Are you sure your 
formula in AD6 of file2 is correct?  Does it work 
if you test it by (temporarily) inserting simple 
numbers into AE6 and so on in place of the references to file1?

What happens if you go to Tools | Cell Contents > 
| Recalculate?  Does that change anything?

I trust this helps.
