    Indirect reference to changing worksheet name

    I am trying to reference a cell in another worksheet. I have a master worksheet and three other worksheets named Budget 1, Budget 2 and Budget 3. In the master worksheet I have a cell, say B3, with the Budget worksheet number. I then want to access cell C5 in worksheet "Budget (B3 ref). Hope this makes sense - attached copy of test workbook.
    I know there are a lot of post on the Indirect function, but have had trouble figuring it out.
    Many thanks.

    Try:

    =INDIRECT("'Budget "&B3&"'!C5")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Thank you - got there once I worked out where the double quotes were and the single quote.
