Charlie,

Get cell A1 from sheet named in B4:
=INDIRECT("'" & B4 & "'!A1")

Get cell named in C4 from sheet named in B4.
=INDIRECT("'" & B4 & "'!" & C4)

If you're not sure how to read the quote marks and apostrophes, move the cursor across with
the arrow keys to see one character at a time.

I have a workbook with 50 tabs and would like to write a formula that pulls
data from a set cell range but across different tabs. I'd like it written in
a way where a cell (on the summary sheet) occupys a tab name and that cell
will be referenced in the formula so that if I change the name, the formula
knows to pull from a different tab.

No macros please.

Thank you,
Charlie
