Hi,

I have a formula where i want to look up a cell which is date populated and then look up the corresponding tab with that date on it.

We have tabs of data for every day. I just need to know what formula do i use to look up the tab? So in the below the XXXX part needs to actually be '3006'!, is indirect the best way to go?

Date 30/06/2016
Total
Wins =COUNTIF('XXXXC:C,'Main Sheet'!$A$3)
Losses =COUNTIF(XXXXC:C,'Main Sheet'!$A$4)

<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>


Thanks in advance

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
I have tried this to start

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(B1&"'!"&C:C),A3)

<tbody>
</tbody>


Any ideas?

You were close. Try the below.

Code:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&B1&"'!C:C"),A3)
