Default easily change external references

Ok my question now is, how exactly do I do that? I've tried looking at the
information on INDIRECT, but don't get how to actually code it right with the
external reference

Here's an example of what I have

WORKBOOK A has data in
WORKSHEET 1 in cells:
A1 D1
A5 D5
A9 D9
A13 D13

WORKBOOK B need to bring in those values from WORKBOOK A into

A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
A4 B4

and then in WORKBOOK B, I need to easily change the references from
WORKSHEET 1 to WORKSHEET 2 (then 3 then 4, etc every new week) of WORKBOOK A

Also is there a very easy "automated" way to do this too?

Thanks for all of your help!!!

If you've got many references to change, the INDIRECT function sounds like
what you need. Use one cell for the name of the relevant sheet, & pick that
up in the link formulae.

Hi...

My question has probably been answered somewhere in the community; but
either I cant find it or I'm just confused.

I have 2 workbooks, Workbook A and Workbook B

Every week in Workbook A, new data is added to a new worksheet. In
Workbook
B, I need to reference several cells from Workbook A. But with each new
week,
I need to change the sheet name in all of the references to get the weeks
data. The only thing that will be changing in Workbook B is the sheet name
in
each external reference.

Is there any way to easily change the sheet name in each external
references
in Workbook B without doing anything to Workbook A?
