Hello,

I am creating a job summary sheet to collect data from sheets that will be created based on each day worked on a project.

I've created a macro that generates new sheets from a list in my summary list.

Now I want to return values in cells in my summary sheet from data in these "new" future sheets.

I want my cell C9 in Summay to return the value on cell F30 in the sheet name based on the sheet list.

Unfortunately I cannot simply select the sheet and click on F30 because this sheet has not been created yet. Once I add a new name on my summary list and play the macro to generate the new sheet I want to be able to collect data from this sheet to my summary sheet.

Thanks a lot!
Wagner

two possible options

1. have a hidden sheet, that links cells from sheet you want. have you sum formula refers to these cells from the hidden cell

2. have a custom sum formula create in macro that will do what you seek

I don't need to sum up, I just need the actual value in that cell.
Thanks

Maybe it helps...
What I need is a formula to replace 'sheet1' for example to a sheet name on a list

=Sheet1!A1

some thing like that =IF(ISERROR(Sheet1!A1),"",IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1))
