Default create cell reference in formula

Hi.

I need the following formula to point to cell (I.e. A3) for the name
(John Doe) instead of me putting the whole name itself.

Any advice?

=IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'John Doe'!k37"))),"
",INDIRECT("'John Doe'!k37"))



Thanx

=IF(ISERROR(CELL("address",INDIRECT("'"& A3 & "'!k37"))),"",INDIRECT("'" &
A3 &"'!k37"))
