Hi all,
Having some big problems and this has been racking my brain for days.
I have a summary page that includes the titles for each tab within the excel 2003 workbook.
I want to use the names of the tabs in the summary page and create it into a formula to lookup fixed cells within the various tabs. Sorry for not uploading an excel doc but I was at work earlier and the thread did not load for some reason, so I am reposting it.
If you need any further information then please let me know. :o)![]()

The function you want is INDIRECT().
With sheetnames in column A, and the desire for cell B10 from every sheet, this formula in B1 copied down:
=INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!B10")
