Hi, I am trying to tie two INDIRECT formulas together to make it reference correctly.

I got a formula that can reference another worksheet:
=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A1:A500")

I got a formula that can reference another range:
=INDIRECT("A"&$C2&":"&"A"&$D2)

But I'm unable to get a formula that can reference another worksheet AND Range.

I'm wanting to write a formula that I can dynamically reference another worksheet, column, and Row (range). Please see attached worksheet for my example.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
I got a formula that can reference another worksheet:
=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A1:A500")

I got a formula that can reference another range:
=INDIRECT("A"&$C2&":"&"A"&$D2)

The combination of those 2 would go something like

=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!A"&$C2&":A"&$D2)

If A2 = "Sheet Name"
C2 = 2
D2 = 4

That would be equivelent to
='Sheet Name'!A2:A4
