Contents of a cell refer to sheet name
Hello there
I would like to do something like this: in sheet1 the value of cell A1="sheet2" in sheet1 the formula in cell B1 should be something like: ='A1!'C5 so that it will look in sheet2 because that's the value in A1. Doesn't work, does it? Thanks Peter |
