With the help from others I am able to now read from a cell on another worksheet using the below formula:
=VLOOKUP($B$3,INDIRECT("'"&$B$2-1&"'!$A$6:$E$11"),5)
If i wanted this to read from another file named after cell B2 what would it look like.
The formula is in the Student Results worksheet on the attached file.

INDIRECT() formulas won't read from other workbooks if they are closed. You'll need the MOREFUNC Add-In which will give you INDIRECT.EXT() to use.

Hi
Try this one but as said earlier may won't work if the source file s closed
Supose B1 has file name (with extention)
