    Hi,

    Assuming the cell which contains your desired sheet name is B1:

    =INDIRECT("'"&B1&"'!A3267")

    You may need to make amendments to the format of e.g. the quotation marks "" if you paste this formula into a non-English version of Excel.

    Hi,

    Can you give an example with actual cell references (e.g. A1, B1) rather than "columnA" and "columnB"?

    Regards

    Re: Reference to a sheet name throught text

    ok

    a10=g3
    b10=10

    what i would like is ='10'!g3

    but values taken from cell a10 and b10 so as when i drag it to change

    This formula is also good for me =INDIRECT("'"&B1&"'!A3267") but i would like as I drag it to the right the b1 remain steady and 3267 to increase !!!
