    Question Excel Formula Help needed on Sheet name retrival

    I have an existing formula in a cell as : =[Sample.xls]OC1!$F$1
    You will understand that it is taking the value of the Cell F1 of Sheet OC1 of the excel workbook Sample.xls

    I do not want to hardcode the sheet name, how to write the sheet number there… The sheet name can change but the number of that sheet wont.
    something like =[Sample.xls]'Sheet(2)'!$F$1 ' I know it wont work, but somthing like it

    Suggestions invited on how to do it.

    Regards,
    Rahul Nair

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
    Hope that helps.
