I everybody. I'm having an odd problem. I have a large spreadsheet with lost of tabs, one for each employee. I'm using Windows 7 and Excel 2010.
We need to get totals of what they have done for the week, organized by teams. But the teams change on a fairly regular basis. My plan was that someone trying to pull a report would put the employee's code in one cell, and that code would be put into a countif statement that would tell excel to pull the counts from that employee's tab.

The idea is that people could just type in names where the teams are that week, and they wouldn't need me to redo things. Good in theory.
But when I type in the formula, and hit enter, it opens up the documents folder. And when I close that it gives me the #Value! error. My first plan had been to use a vlookup inside the countif statement, but when that didn't work i tried to simplify it by just having it reference the cell to the left. Anyone ever had a formula open up the documents folder before, or have a good idea oh how I can have a formula that uses another cell to reference what worksheet it should look at?
Thank you very much.

| Name | count |
| Scottr | =COUNTIF('a2'!AU:AU,TRUE) |
| Benj | =COUNTIF('a3'!AU:AU,TRUE) |
