![]() "cardan" wrote in message ... Hello, I have an issue I can't seem to find an answer to, which I believe is doable. I have a worksheet named RU (for Rollup) which pulls information from 3 other worksheets named "RCA","RCB", "RCC" through an Index Match formula. I am hoping to insert into the formula the name of the tab I would like the formula to search from. I would like formula to look for the name of the worksheet in a cell within the same row, find the worksheet and then apply the index match formula. That way I can just the name of worksheet it looks from by changing the value of the cell. I have tried researching the INDIRECT function but I can't seem to find an example for what I am trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance. Indirect should work. Maybe you have incorrect syntax. The form is =INDIRECT("'[filename.xls]SheetName'!$A$1") Using that syntax you can further formulize (is that a word??) it like this Cell a1 = "filename.xls" Cell a2 = "SheetName" Cell a3 = "a" Cell a4 = 1 =indirect(" '[ "&a1&"]"&a2&" '! "&a3&a4) note the ' are needed and space was added for readibility. Note that the file must be open for this formula to work. You should be able to take it from there. Mike |
