Default Idexing Question

I have a workbook that has worksheets named A,B,C...Z.

I have a worksheet where ColumnA lists the worksheet names.

Is there a formula that I can use in ColB that will look at the worksheet
name in ColA and return the value in Row1, Col12 of the relevent worksheet ?

Thank you in advance.

Try this:

A1 = A
A2 = B
A3 = C
etc

Enter this formula in B1 and copy down as needed:

=INDIRECT(A1&"!L1")

Hi. When I wrote "I have a workbook that has worksheets named A,B,C...Z." I
was generalizing. The actual names of the worksheets vary. For example

Jan 2(2)
Jan 3

Does that help in troubleshooting your suggestion ?

Change the formula to
=INDIRECT("'" &A7&"'!A1")
Make sure to have all the double and single quotes as mentioned

Yes!

Let this be an example of why you should tell us what you really have!

When sheet names have spaces in them you must enclose the name in single
quotes:

Try it this way:

=INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!L1")
