Formula reference to cell in another sheet, sheet name from cell reference

[goranimo]

Hi,

I have a formula with reference to another sheet, but instead of using sheet name in the formula, I would like the formula to use the sheet name from a cell value.

Is this possible?

Please see attached sample.

you can do it this way using indirect but based on how you have designed it you'll have to change the tab name to exclude spaces so Test 2 will need to get rid of the space either by doing it this way Test_2 (and the tab to match) or Test2 with also a tab to match. =INDIRECT(A2&"!a1") that you can drag down.

Hi again,

So I made the sample to easy to implement this to my project.

My formula is:
=COUNTA('F3482'!$I$3:$I$200)

The sheet name 'F3482' is in cell A10 in active sheet.

I tried =INDIRECT(A10&"!COUNTA($I$3:$I$200)")

That didnt work.
Any suggestions?

No, it won't work!

Try this:

=COUNTA(INDIRECT("'"&A10&"'!$I$3:$I$200"))
