Watch your quotes. The following works.

Joel has given a good answer with =INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&B1)
But if the worksheet's name has spaces in it then some single quotes are needed =INDIRECT("'"&$A$1&"'!"&B1) Before the first & we have double quote, single quote then double quote After the second quote we have double quote then single quote best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Jim May" wrote in message ...
