Hi, I need to use the result of a simple calculation in one cell on Sheet1 (=A1+2) as the row in a cell reference on a different sheet. eg =Sheet2!A"n" where "n" is the result of formula.

Where cell A1 has that first calculation in it, try this in the next cell:
=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A" & A1)
Be careful about falling love with the INDIRECT() function. It comes with a lot of overhead. Every cell you use it in will recalculate every time you change any piece of data anywhere on your sheet. Every time. If you insert 1000s of these INDIRECT() functions into one sheet, you will suffer some performance issues.
It's fine in controlled amounts.

Always put your code between code tags. [CODE] your code here [/CODE]

You can avoid INDIRECT here with INDEX
=INDEX(Sheet2!A:A,A1)
