I have a formula that references sheet names. I can create the formula that goes into the same cell on each sheet. When I copy and paste the formula the sheet will not automatically up date. Is there way of doing this? I created a separate sheet and listed the names of all the other sheets being used thinking I could use an indirect formula but again when I copy and paste the sheet name did not update. The sheet names are in sequence 1st,2nd,3rd.....

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Thanks but I guess I need to better explain what I am trying to accomplish.
Sheet1 (1st) cell B3 has data
Sheet2 (2nd) cell B3 ='1st'!B3
Sheet3 (3rd) cell B3 = '2nd'!B3
This can go on for 60+ sheets. As of now if I copy and past the sheet 2 formula to any other sheets the formula contains sheet 1 or '1st'. I want to be able to copy the formula from sheet 2 and paste it to all the additional sheets automatically updating the sheet names.
I am not sure if this is possible with a simple excel command, VBA code or if it is even possible.

I ended up hiding sheet names in a cell then used an indirect command to dynamically update the formula.
