    Reference another sheet, but with cell value as name

    hi,

    is there a way to reference another sheet with value from another cell?

    so instead of typing out the sheet name in formula, i.e. =sheet1A1, i want to "sheet1" to be dynamic- chosen from a drop down menu, let's say value in c2.

    of course a simple =c2!A1 would not work because that would just try to find a sheet named "c2", which doesn't exist.

    please see attached file.

    thanks for having a look
