To understand relative and absolute addressing, look up the topic in Excel
help.

=INDIRECT("'"&$C$2&"'!A2:A100")
or =INDIRECT("'"&$C2&"'!A2:A100") if it is just the column, not the row,
that you want to be absolute.

This helps, Thank You

How do I make the C2 absolute, so the column doesn't change when I copy it
?

Hi All -

I have 1 worksheet for every student, and a summary worksheet that
checks
a
specific ranges in each students sheet. I manually do a find replace
to
change the student's name in each column of the summary sheet.

How do I take the students name from COL C of the summary sheet and
tell
the
SUMIFs in Cols E - Z to go to that students worksheet and match the
criteria
etc.. instead of manually changing the names ? (names in COL C match
the
names of the students worksheets)

This worksheet is going to grow larger, and this would be very helpful.

Thank You - Mike
