If there is a worksheet name in a cell how can that be used to access a cell in that another worksheet. In other words sheet1 cell A1 has “Sheet2” in B2 I want to get the input in cell B2 from sheet2. I know =’Sheet2’!B2 will do it but I want to use the information in cell A1. I’ve tried =”’” & A1 & “’!B2” but that only gave me the text ’Sheet2’!B2.
You use the INDIRECT() function to piece together text strings into a sheet/cell reference. Based on your example:
=INDIRECT("'" & $A$1 & "'!B2")

Use the INDIRECT function, like this:
=INDIRECT("'" & A1 & "'!B2")
The apostrophes are there in case the sheet name contains spaces.
Hope this helps.
