=indirect("'"&A1&"'!B2")

if A1 is the first cell of your list of Tab names and the data uou want to copy is in B2 on each sheet; this should work for you. If not, post an excel sheet.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

Hi th335,

Sheets can be retrieved by an Index Number. The maximum sheet index in a workbook is Sheets.Count. See if this code makes sense as I think it is close to what you want.
