selecting a worksheet
 

I have 4 worksheets named calculation, 2004, 2005 & 2006.

On the calculation sheet I have a user that enters these details in
these cells:

Range A2 = commencement year
Range B2 = amount on records

The commencement year enters determines if sheet 2004, 2005 or 2006
should be used to look up cell A1 for the correct rate to use.

I want Range C2 to do this calculation:

('amount on records' X 'rate for the commencement year')/1000

so for example, if the commencement year was 2006 the formula would
be;

(B2*'2006 Rates'!A1)/1000

my problem is, I dont know how to factor in the comencement year as it
varies depending on what year is input. any help would be
appreciated.

thanks
