If it is in the same workbook you could try this:

=INDIRECT("Inc."&A1)

You might need to put the sheet name before the Inc.

INDIRECT only works with open files.

Hope this helps.

As I do it now, I put ="Inc."&A1, and it returns the value "Inc.2007",
instead of the value that is named "Inc.2007'. *Is there any way to make this
work?
