Copy/paste this User Defined Function to a general module in your workbook.

Function PrevSheet(rg As Range)
N = Application.Caller.Parent.Index
If N = 1 Then
PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrRef)
ElseIf TypeName(Sheets(N - 1)) = "Chart" Then
PrevSheet = CVErr(xlErrNA)
Else
PrevSheet = Sheets(N - 1).Range(rg.Address).Value
End If
End Function

'Enter =PrevSheet(B2) on sheet2 and you'll get B2 from sheet1.

As if that wasn't confusing enough...

Sheet 2 has a value in A15 which it's reading from Sheet 1's A15. How do I
copy Sheet 2 to a new sheet 3 so that Sheet 3's A15 points to Sheet 2's A15
and not Sheet 1's? How do I make the "=+Sheet1!A15" a relative value?
