    Use cell reference on one sheet as a sheet name in a formula on another sheet

    Have a workbook with sheets Dataentry, Printout, sheet1, sheet2,.......sheet7.

    Cell on Dataentry will contains the text sheet#. Want to use this cell value as the "sheet name" in a formula on sheet Printout that references a value on the sheet "sheet name"

    Will supply an example tomorrow if what I want is not clear.

    Thanks

    welcome to the forum, GavJ. yes it'll probably be good if you can upload a sample excel file & show us your desired results. i'm guessing if you have the sheet name in A1 of DataEntry sheet & you want to reflect Sheet1!B1, you can use:
    =INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!B1")

    if A1 is showing Sheet1, it will show you B1 value of Sheet1. if A1 is showing Sheet2, it will show you B1 value of Sheet2

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Hi,

    Perhaps

    where A1 on data entry contains the sheet reference. When you mentioned 'textsheet#' you rather confused me. Or are all your sheet names numbers.

    Sheets are sheet1, sheet2, sheet3,.........sheet7. Sheet# is any one of sheets1 - 7. I have a userform where a sheet is selected. Data is entered on Dataentry and is transferred to the selected sheet and calculations performed on sheet Printout using values from the selected sheet.
