    How to reference a sheet that is coded to change names based on a cell

    My sheets are coded to change names based on the contents of a cell. How do I reference these sheets in a formula? -Thanks

    The formulas should change when the sheet name changes. Don't they?

    Did you use the INDIRECT function? It won't work without.
