Cell Reference Embedded in Formula
I am trying to write a formula that, based on a cell on the current sheet,
references a cell from another sheet. I am getting a #NAME? error and I cannot figure out how to correct it. Example: =SUM(Sheet1!F162:Sheet1!F(B2))*Sheet1!E233 The B2 cell is supposed to determine which Sheet1 cell to use. I am using Excel version 2000 9.0.7616 SP-3. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Use this
=SUM(Sheet1!F162:INDIRECT("Sheet1!F" &B2)) See also http://www.cpearson.com/excel/indirect.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Paul T" wrote in message ...

Cell Reference Embedded in Formula
This post is particularly timely. I am today struggling with a similar dynamic referencing issue. I need to reference a table on another sheet. I actually want to mirror pivot tables that are on each monthly sheet. Currently I try to reference them as =jan!F204 thru =jan!L221 Unfortunately the row references might also change as rows are added/deleted. As the sheet reference changes over time it would be good if it continued to flow with the changes. I have tried a suggestion in the lit. to present a pivot table of the pivot table. Far too complicated!
