One way ..

Try this sample file which illustrates:
http://cjoint.com/?dplDV6ZFvn
Extracting from multiple shts.xls
(.. savefile's upload is down ..)

In Sheet1,

Insert a new col A, enter the sheetnames in A3 down.

D1 will house the input for the district, viz.: BISD, TISD, etc
(In the sample, just select from the DV droplist in D1)

Then just place in C3:
=OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!A2"),MATCH($D$1,INDIRE CT("'"&$A3&"'!A:A"),0)-2,COLUMN(A1))
Copy C3 across to F3, fill down. Hide away cols A and E, and you would have
exactly the ops set up that you want.
