Default Using a cells contents to reference a sheet.


Is it possible to use the contents of a cell to reference a different
sheet?

Sheet 1 (Named Master)
Sheet 2 (Named Test)
Sheet 3 (Named Development)
Sheet 4 (Named Production)

I'd like to be able to perform a VLOOKUP on Sheets 2,3,& 4 using the
contents of a cell from sheet 1 as the array.

For Example:
Sheet 1, cell A1 would have one of the names of sheets 2,3,or 4.

=VLOOKUP(A5,*A1!*$A:$F,5,TRUE)

I know the above example won't work. Can it be done?

Thanks!
