Function to Insert Text Into a Formula
I need a way to get text from a cell put into a function such that the text
fills in the name of the worksheet to look for the data in. i.e. I want to look for cell B2 in worksheet test, then the next cell down I want to look for cell B2 in worksheet answer, etc but I don't want to have to modify the formula to input the worksheet name every time. I want a way for the worksheet name to be grabbed from an adjacent cell and populate the formula that already has the cell B2 in it. Thx. |

Function to Insert Text Into a Formula
Assuming that you have the sheet names in A2, A3, A4 etc, put this
formula in B2: =INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!B2") then copy down. The apostrophes enable you to have sheet names with spaces in. Hope this helps.
