Hi
it will work also for the sheet name. e.g.
A1: sheet1
A2: X1
A3: Formula
=INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!" & A2)

this will get the value from sheet1!X1

Frank,

INDIRECT seems to work when you want to reference a cell but not for
just
the sheet name.
I want to be able to create a variable that contains the name of a
sheet and
then use that variable in a formula.

Thank you.

Eric.

Hello,

I dont know if this is possible, but I am trying to build a
formula
which
contains the name of a sheet that will change every day.
In fact, I would like a cell to contain the name of the sheet and
then
reference the content of that cell in my formula.

Ex: sheet2.A3 would contain the text "Sheet2"
my formula would look like = sheet2.A3!B4*C45........., where
sheet2.A3!B4
would be cell B4 of sheet2.


Thank you.

Eric.
