Wanting to use text from a cell as a value in a formula
I am looking to use the value in a cell in a formula which points at a
worksheet with the same number. I have 115 worksheets and 1 summary page at the front, in column A I have the worksheet number which the results in that row relate to ie 1, 2, 3, reflect figures in worksheet (1), worksheet (2), worksheet (3) etc... To save time I am looking for a way that I can use the number in column A in the formula that looks up the value in the worksheet require ie ='worksheet(x)'!$B$6 but replace x with the value in column A and then fill down for all worksheets. Can anyone help? |

You need the INDIRECT function, something like
=INDIRECT("'worksheet("&A2&")'!$B$6") where A2 contains the worksheet number "sid@knee" wrote: I am looking to use the value in a cell in a formula which points at a worksheet with the same number.
