sheet name reference
 

In sheet1 a1, I have datavalidation list(named range) consisting of sheet
names of my w/book. Some of the names in that list has spaces (example: John
Smith).In some other cell say in d1, I am using formula
d1=indirect(a1&"!c2").The formula is working with sheet names without spaces
in my list .Its not working with sheet name with spaces like "John Smith"
sheet. how to get it ?.I can't change/modify names in my list as they are
derived from a named range of other w/book.

Use

=indirect("'"&a1&"'!c2").
