asked on 

Concatenate a tab name inside a formaula.

I am trying to find a way to concatenate a worksheet tab name inside a formula.

The formula: =VLOOKUP(A4,'BRNOV 26'!$C$4:$H$199,6,FALSE)

When I change the date in another cell to November 27, the worksheet name inside the formula should change to:

=VLOOKUP(A4,'BRNOV 27'!$C$4:$H$199,6,FALSE)

I tried INDIRECT, that does not seem to work I only get #REF for a result....

Confusing as heck.....

You can use INDIRECT, like this:

=INDIRECT("'" & E2 & "'!" & F2)

Sample sheet attached.
