    Formula to make cell reference as name of sheet

    Hi Experts,

    Is it possible when using a formula that directs to a different sheet name, to get the sheet name from a cells content.

    for example

    in cell A1 the contents are NAME

    My lookup formula reads =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(B6,FIND(" ",B6)+1),'NAME'!A:B,2,FALSE),""), in the formula is it possible somehow to replace NAME in the formula with contents of Cell A1 so that as Cell A1's contents change so does the formula

    Thanks

    Danny

    use indirect, something like


    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(B6,FIND(" ",B6)+1),(INDIRECT("'" & B$2&"'!$A:$B")),2,FALSE),"")
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
