Using cell content to access another worksheet in same workbook
This should be simple but the functions that would appear to be the answer
don't work. I have a worksheet name that is contained in column one of another worksheet row. I want to use that cell content to access the named worksheet and populate a cell in the same row of the first worksheet. For example, in worksheet A the content of cell A2 = B. I want to populate cell B2 in worksheet A with the contents of cell B200 in worksheet B (the content of A!A2). Then for other contents of column A of sheet A, Bx will be populated with the contents of B200 of the sheet named in Ax where x is the row number. The INDIRECT function does not appear to work in this case but maybe I am formatting it wrong. Thanks |

indirect only works if the worksheet is OPEN.
You'll need to use indirect.ext contained within the MOREFUNC addin and will need the full file path. http://xcell05.free.fr/english/index...func_Functions "ScubaBum" wrote: This should be simple but the functions that would appear to be the answer don't work.

My apologies. I misread the question.

Using cell content to access another worksheet in same workbook
Bob,
That was quick and it worked. Mind explaining how you constructed this answer? IE, what does each part of the function mean, particularly the quotes, ampersands, etc? Thanks Bob Phillips wrote: =INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!B200") -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace xxxx in the email address with gmail if mailing direct) This should be simple but the functions that would appear to be the answer don't work. I have a worksheet name that is contained in column one of [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] Thanks |
