Dynamic sheet reference
How do I create a dynamic reference to a sheet throught a specific cell
location? For example: cell ref!A5 where cell ref is the text contents of a specific cell like B8. -- steve |
Dynamic sheet reference
See the INDIRECT function in Excel Help.
If B8: Sheet 3 Then this formula returns the value of cell A5 on the 'Sheet 3' worksheet: =INDIRECT("'"&B8&"'!A5") Note: the quote marks can be confusing.... The left set is: Dbl-quote.....Single-quote...Dbl-quote The right set is: Dbl-quote...Single-quote...!A5...Dbl-quote When a sheet name includes spaces, references to it must be enclosed in single-quotes. Does that help? -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "steve" wrote in message ...
