    Using Text to Call Sheets in Formulas

    I want to use the text in A1 to be used in a formula to call another sheet and add data on that sheet. The basic way (that doesn't work) would be (stuff to add)='A1'!A1.
    Is there any way to do this?

    Hello,

    try

    =indirect(A1&"!A1")

    If the sheet name in A1 contains spaces, you need to enclose it in single quotes

    =indirect("'"&A1&"'!A1")
