Default Using a Cell Value to reference a Worksheet

This will use the value in A1 to establish which sheet to get the
value from.
=INDIRECT("Sheet" & A1 & "!A2")

In effect, if A1 contains letter A, then this is saying =SheetA!A2.

Hi,

I have 5 worksheets, labelled A-E.

Is it possible to build a formula which references the same cell in any one
of these worksheets by have A-E in cells A1, meaning that if I cahange the
value in A1 to either of the 5 letters, the result reflects the value in that
specific worksheet

cheers
