    INDIRECT Formula With Dynamic Row Selection

    Hello,

    I am using INDIRECT to read text off a cell, into a formula that shows the value of a cell from another sheet.

    =INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!H11")
    B8 being the other sheet name.

    The problem I am having is that when I drag this formula down the column, the target cell reference(H11) doesn't change like it would if the formula was ='other sheet'!H11

    Thanks.

    Have you tried this?

    =INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!"&H11)

    Correction - try this:

    =INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!H"&ROW(A1)+10)

    or this:

    =INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!"&CELL("address",H11))
