Trying to get a formula to retrieve data (The Time) from a cell on another sheet.

=IFERROR(INDIRECT(LEFT("'"&D8&"-TVDB'!"&"AB7"),FIND("M","'"&D8&"-TVDB'!"&"AB7",1)),"Unknown")

D8 is the sheet name with -TVDB tagged on the end
ex. The Simpsons-TVDB

On The Simpsons-TVDB sheet in AB7 cell is the value that is needed
ex. 8:00 PM on Sundays

I need the 8:00 PM from that cell

Thanks

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
What problem are you having?

What's in the cells your formula references?
