    How to get worksheet names to change to next worksheet

    Hi,
    I'm Dawn and am new to this forum. I have been using excel extensively for a few years and am trying to get a master sheet to pull information from various worksheets in the same book. The problem is that I want a different worksheet on each row but the same cell etc. I would like to be able to make the worksheet name change by cell A of that row. I have the sheet name listed in Column A. Is this a possibility, it seems like the answer is yes but I have not been able to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No worksheet. Go Advanced>Manage Attachments>"Choose File" > "Upload"
    If you did that and it didn't work, maybe the workbook was too big. Try deleting all but a few rows of data (enough so we can get the jist of what you want).

    Re: How to get worksheet names to change to next worksheet

    Okay, In B4 for example

    =INDIRECT("'"&A4 &"'!$C$5")
    Note: that's a double quote followed by a single quote, then a double quote, then & A4 & then A double quote, single quote and !$C$5 double quote

    Similarly in D4
    =INDIRECT("'"&A4 &"'!" & E5)
    Does that help?

    Re: How to get worksheet names to change to next worksheet

    Actually my second equation is incorrect I believe. Should be

    =INDIRECT("'"&A4&"'!E"&ROW(E5))

    How to mark solved? Go to first post and look for "Thread tools" dropdown to "Mark Thread solved"
