Default Simple Formula

Excel 2009
I am looking for a formula that will do the following;
If cell A1 in workbook one = Brent, then cell B1 must equal the amount in
cell A1 of workbook two

Hi,
check for any spaces in cell A1 before or after Brent, if there is any
delete them

Default Simple Formula

=IF(A3="Brent",[SlowDownChart.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$3,"")
This is the formula I used, (the cell numbers are correct), but it won't
return a value.
