Thanks for your help, I figured this one out already, i have to use offset
instead of index :)

How about providing an explanation of what you're trying to do. What lookup
functions? What lookup tables? Where are the tables? Where is the lookup
value?

Ok, so I have used this to import my data, however depending on the A$1
some
of my tables are smaller than others which is making my lookup functions
not
return properly! How can I stop this?

Try this:

=INDIRECT($A$1 & "!" & CHAR(COLUMN()+64) & ROWS($1:2))

How do you want the A2 reference to update? By column or row or both?

i need to use a formula in which the variable part is the worksheet
name,
i'm
trying to use INDIRECT($A$1 & "!A2"), where the value of $A$1 is the
worksheet name, but when i copy my formula to the other cells, the
A2
part
does not update

how do i make it automatically update to the current cell reference?
