You'll need to write VBA code that opens the workbook, finds the textbox (IIRC this is done via the worksheet's Shapes collection) and gets the text (IIRC from its TextFrame).
It's not simple, especially if there are multiple shapes on the worksheet and you need to relate text from each textbox to values in nearby cells. You'll need a good understanding of VBA and the Excel object model.
