Default Automate a date referenced in a formula pointing to another sheet

I am trying to reference a date in a formula that points to a sheet name.
See Below.

A B
November 11, 2005 ='11-11-05'!$v$35

How can I automate the date to pull from column A and place that value in
the date for column B? Column B is the name of a different sheet in the
workbook.

Thank You.

But it did not work. I get a REF Error in the cell.

hmm, everything is ok at me. Are your target worksheet have name in mm-dd-yy
format for sure and does date in A1 is value (number) or text ?? It should
be value, othervise you must convert it to value...VALUE(A1).

Thank you for your help,

It is formated as a date. November 11, 2005.. When I use the Evaluate
button, it shows the correct figure (in Parinithies) but the cell shows REF
Error. It is changing the date to Julian, then back to the format defined,
but then an error.

Any Thoughts?

maybe it's sintax??

The bigining "'" in =INDIRECT("'" is quotes-apostrophe-quotes, and "' is
quotes-apostophe in "'!$V$35

I'm tested formula few times and it works 100%.
