    How are your worksheets named? It should be rather easy to do this knowing that, using INDIRECT.

    How about the format in the attached? All you need is a list of dates, and it will pull in the value of a fixed cell (I used C2) from each worksheet with that date.

    Thank you

    This has saved me a lot of time!

    On a side note if anyone would like to automatically create a list of sheet names.
    This website has the instructions to do so
