    Trying to get cell value based on formula I construct

    I have a spreadsheet like this:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    So, I know on SheetName, row 1 has my manager needed, so I need to find their value of the Function in that sheet and put it in this current sheet, row E. This address formula isn't working. How do I get it to work? The 1 in column D above is calculated with the following formula:

    =MATCH(C2208,'SheetName'!$D$2:$D$25,0) //this returns row that the manager in C2208 is found in SheetName.

    My original idea was to do this with vlookup but I couldn't figure out how to get vlookup to work.

    I tried this formula for getting the function but it has a #REF! error.

    =INDIRECT("SheetName!B"&d2208)

    I tried using vlookup like this:

    =VLOOKUP(C2208,'SheetName'!$D$2:$D$25,2,FALSE)

    But it has #REF! error

    but it gives #N/A

    I got it to work with

    The problem went away once I removed spaces from tab names. I noticed it when I was putting together my example spreadsheet for AliGW, which I won't attach since I got it working now. Thanks!!
