    Worksheet_Name! based on Cell Value

    I have a worksheet template that I am constantly adding new tabs to; but I want a summary tab that references all tabs, and can easily add a reference to tabs as added.
    A majority of the tabs are all identical; literally made as copies of one another for each day of data entry. I then want a summary tab that is pulling four values from each tab to display. Then as I end up continuing to copy additional data entries per day, I want to be able to easily expand the summary tab to include the additional sheets.

    Since each day is a different day of data entry, then they are all named based on the day's date (e.g. 2022-06-01, 2022-06-02, etc.)
    On the summary tab; I can have these organized out in columns starting by date. But the values underneath would be ='2022-06-01'!$O$33, etc. I would like the worksheet_name! '2022-06-01' to instead reference the values in my top row, where that same value is also input. But doing =C2!$O$33 does not work. Is there a way to extract the value of the cell to utilize in place of the worksheet_name! in an excel formula? This way as I keep adding tabs, all I need to do is copy-paste C2:C4 into __2:__4 and update the date in __2 for it to reference the other values accordingly.

    So normally you are going to utilize an INDIRECT() formula.
    The problem you are going to have is that your date in C2 is not actually 2022-06-01 it is converted into a number 44713. What you will need to do is change all the cell formats in row C on your summary tab to TEXT. Then you can utilize the below formula:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    EDIT:

    Ignore above you actually dont need to change the format of your dates, just use the formula:

    C1=C1

    A3 ='2022-06-01

    B3 =INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!"&$C$1)


    I would add all data in 1 sheet, with the date in column A.

    After that a pivot table to analyse the data.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
