dynamic formula to reference the cell between 2 separate worksheets

[ranchu88]

Hi all,

I've tried to create a dynamic formula to reference the cell between 2 separate worksheets. Please refer to attached and advise the error on the formula in cell D6 (=(INDEX(CONCATENATE("'[",A6,"]",B6,"'!",C6),4,2)) of workbook "Test1.xlsx".

Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

(Note: this change is not optional. As you are new here, I have done it for you this time.)

Will you please attach a small sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Hi AliGW,

Noted and thanks for your help on the title modification.

I've attached the sample worksheet for the review.

Try this:

=INDEX(INDIRECT("'["&A5&"]"&B5&"'!"&C5),4,2)

Make sure that BOTH workbooks are open.
