Default Help with an Indirect formula to reference sheet names

Well I figured the simple part of this formula formula. However, I'm having
trouble fitting
it into a larger scale formula. The simple part is to reference a Worksheet
name based on a cells contents. I want to reference "Sheet" & the number
which resides in cell AH1. The formula below seems to do it.

="Sheet"& ROW(INDIRECT(AH1&":"&$AH$1))

I'm not sure if that is proper method, but it seems to work.

Now I need to fit that into a larger formula, but I'm having trouble. Here
is the current formula.

=RIGHT('Sheet1'!A1,(LEN('Sheet1'!A1)-(LEN(AF1)+40)))

Where it shows "Sheet1", I need to fit in the Indirect formula that I listed
above.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

You are looking for INDIRECT... Since you have used it before I will not
go
into the details...

I've done this before, but I can't remember how. I need to reference a
sheet number based on another cell.

For example:
='Sheet1'!A1+A2

In my situation, I need to reference the Sheet number where the number
will
be in a cell. Let's say that the number "1" is in A5. In my formula
above
I need something that will say Sheet & A2 which will be "Sheet1".

How can I do this?

Thanks,
