Formula to reference another sheet using a string in a cell
I have a bunch of sheets with different names and I have another sheet that
contains cells that gets information from the different persons sheets. Eg ='Joe Bloggs'!D49 Would be the formula. I have a sheet set out like the following Joe Bloggs| 0 | 0 | John Doe|0 | 0 | The 0's are refrences to that particular person cell. Rather than typing in the name in each formula, I'm just wondering if I can use that actual name in the cell, so instead of ='John Doe'!D49 I could write something like =A2!D49 using the name to look at the relative sheet. Thanks for any help thrown my way. |
