    Formula to referance Sheet

    Hello:

    Please refer to attached sheet.
    I have excel workbook with monthly Sheet and YTD Sheet.

    In YTD, Row 3 has names of sheets (Monthly Sheets).
    I need a formula in cell C5:E5 to reference monthly sheet and want to use the name of the sheet in row 3.
    I am adding formula c5 = 'C3'!C5 and it is giving error.
    FYI : i know i can use c5 = Jan13!C5 but i do not want to use this method.

    Please help me setup this formula to use name reference from cell C3:E3.

    Thank you and let me if any questions.

    Re: Formula to referance Sheet

    You can drag it across =INDIRECT(C3&"!C5")
    you can drag it down but you need to have sheet names in C4, C5 and so on.

    Re: Formula to referance Sheet

    But if you need to drag it down and across try to use this:

    =INDIRECT(C$3&"!"&CHAR(64+COLUMNS(A:A)+2)&ROW(5:5))

    Re: Formula to referance Sheet

    Another way:
    I think a little bit quicker:
    =INDIRECT(C$3&"!"&CELL("address",$C5))
