    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?

    Can you upload an example file that shows this behavior?

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