Think you're looking for INDIRECT ..

Put in A1: Sheet2
Put in A2: =INDIRECT("'"& A1 &"'!B1")

A2 returns the same as : =Sheet2!B1

Changing the sheetname in A1 to: Sheet3
will then return the value in Sheet3's B1

Hi!

How can I make a link to another sheet be dependable on one cell value
(without ifs)?

I give you an example:

I have a worksheet with three sheets ('Sheet1','Sheet2', and 'Sheet3')
In 'Sheet1' I have two cells:
A1 - Its value can be 'Sheet2' or 'Sheet3'
A2 - It has a formula (for example: 'Sheet2'!B1)

I would like to make a formula like this one for cell A2: *A1*!B1
and the Excel to "substitute" the * for Sheet2 or Sheet3 depending on
the value in A1.

I hope i explained it ok.

Thanks in advance
