    Drop down to Reference Sheet Name

    Hi everyone,

    This should be a pretty quick question. I have a drop down with a list of companies. Each company has their own dataset and information tab, named the same as the drop down.

    When they drop down, I just want to insert the formula into the formula bar. I tried to use indirect, but it does not like me. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    I've searched a pretty good amount, and can only find how to change the operator, which seems similar, but it ends up being different enough where the process doesn't translate.

    The formula in B8 should be
    =SUM(INDIRECT(B4&"!A:A")) you can apply the same concept to the rest.

    Ah I was just using:

    =SUM(INDIRECT(B4)!A:A)

    Thanks for the help.
