fixed worksheet : Sheet 1.A1 = name of variable worksheets (Sheet 2, Sheet 3 ...) to get data from Sheet 1.A2 = variable row on chosen variable worksheet to get data from The column on the variable worksheet will always be the same, say "B" Data to be displayed in Sheet 1.A3 All the forum Q/As I have seen reference fixed cells on Sheet 2,3 etc, not variable. cells. I would also be interested to know the formula if the row was fixed and the column was variable. Can anyone help ? |

try this =INDIRECT(A1&"!B"&A2) .... Much more robust to enclose the worksheet name in single quotes. =INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!B"&A2) |

Help on index addressing using variable sheets & cell referenc
The 'more robust' approach of using single quotes worked, as the worksheet
names have a space in them. Many thanks |
