Hi Excel Users,

I have a file that has multiple worksheets in it. The majority of the worksheets is a basic form that helps summarize job requirements for each specific project.

In this file, I have a Work Summary Log worksheet in which I'm extracting some data from the other worksheets to "summarize" all jobs into one nice work summary log.

The following form works great to "automatically" extract desired data from desired worksheets:

=IF(C20="","",INDIRECT("'"&C20&"'!I9"))

C20 = Worksheet name or Worksheet tab name

Example: 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1

I9 = The desired extracted data
I have a handful of variables for each task, such as:
C = Complete
WIP = Work in Progress

When I use the above formula, I would like the result to be 'C' or "WIP" if that's what is stated from the 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1 form or worksheet.


If I copy this formulat to the next row or rows, the "I9" variable does not change - The rest of the formula is fine.

How can I modify this formula so that "I9" variable becomes "I10" & gives the desired result from the worksheet in which I'm extracting data from?

Example:

If "I9" = 'C' in worksheet, 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1, my result will be 'C' on my Work Summary Log worksheet

=IF(C20="","",INDIRECT("'"&C20&"'!I9"))


If "I10" = 'WIP' in worksheet, 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1, my result will be 'WIP' on my Work Summary Log worksheet

=IF(C20="","",INDIRECT("'"&C20&"'!I10"))

As of now, I have to manually change the 'IXX' value, which I don't want to do

How can I modify this to "automically" change cells, as if the formula was:

=I9 -- Gives result as, "C"

Then, copied this formula to get:

=I10 -- To get result as, "WIP"



Is there another formula that works similar to the above formula or description given that will provide desired results?

Thanks
