Hi

you want the 'Indirect' function

Example:

Put "Hello" in Sheet 2, A1
Put "World" in Sheet3, A1

in Sheet1 B1 put "Sheet2!"
in sheet1 B2 put "Sheet3!"
(dont forget the exclamaion mark!!!)

in sheet1 A1
=indirect(b1&"A1")&" "&indirect(b2&"A1)


Ta da

Hello,

This hopefully should be easy :) :)

I want to reference a value in a different sheet, but I want the sheet to be
choosen by the contents of another cell.

So in other words, if I have a drop down menu of my Sheet names in A1 - I
want to be able to use this 'kind' of formula in B1, '=A1!B3'. The end result
would be to return the value of B3 from the sheet choosen in A1.

This obviously doesn't work, which is why I need help :)

Any Ideas Please?

Many Thanks

Mark
