Worksheet name used in a formula
 

Use
Edit = Replace
What: WAPI
With: XAPI

Since you are linking to a closed workbook there is no formula that will do
what you want. Indirect would be the correct function, but doesn't work
with closed workbooks.

The alternative to replace would be a macro.

I have a workbook that is updated with new sheet names about every six
weeks. The worksheets all contain formulas that reference the different
worksheets and when I change the sheet names, I have to go through the
worksheets and change my formulas to reference the new names. This is a
large workbook with over three hundred formulas within the different
workbooks.

What I would like to do is write the formulas to look at a cell on sheet
(let's call it sheetNames) pull the sheet name from that cell and then use
that name in it's formula. ex (='H:\BIT Corporate Load\BIT Metrics
CL03Fall\CL03Fall Cust Sys & Mvmt Plogs\CSCS Cycle
Data\Templates\[rsc-cycle1.xls]WAPI'!$E$6) I want to replace WAPI with the
sheet 'sheetName'!A1 data. This would allow for me to change the sheet
names in one place and all of my formulas would reflect the change.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.
