Indirect reference and worksheets with single quote in the nam
How about putting this in A1:
="'int''l'!a1"
(that worked, too.)
That first apostrophe is used by excel to force it to treat the value as text.
If you look at the value in the cell--not in the formula bar, then you should
only see one apostrophe at the far left.

And yes, if it were up to me, I would not use the ' in a sheet name. I want
to have a link to a table in a web site so I can automatically update my
data. The name they are using has Int'l in the name. I need to look-up
information on my worksheet for the Name Int'l
I suppose I could go another level and have an indirect reference to a sheet
after a table look-up on the name

Maybe a good reason to avoid apostrophes in the worksheet names!

I can't seem to use the indirect function to lookup data in another sheet if
the sheet name contains a single quote.
Sheet1 - I have in cell A1: Sheet2!A1
In cell A2 I have: =INDIRECT(A1)
If I change the name of Sheet2 to Int'l and change the contents of A1 to
Int'l!A1
then it no longer works.
What can you do when the sheet name has a single quote? I am going to be
referencing data from a web site and I want the names of the sheets to be
able to be referenced just by the name of the data. I have no control over
this data and so it will have the ' in it.
