The "Sheet1!A1" is an output from a conditional formula (IF function). I
can't use the reference as the output without including the quotes - and I
have 32 lists of these references that don't reference.

Perhaps I can phrase my question a different way - is there a way to
include
a cell reference on a different worksheet as an output from a conditional
formula?

Thanks for the help...

remove the quotes and ensure the cell is formatted as general

This seems like a simple thing, but I can't figure it out...
