=INDIRECT("'" & A2 & "'!" & B2)
I am trying to use this formula to get to total of each month depending on A2. Cell A2 will have drop down of months names, that is Tabs names. I want B2 to have total of each month rather than cell reference, because Total may not be always in the same cell, we add rows if we add new account number or cost center.
So, Can I use name function instead of cell reference, for example April-total, May-total, June-total etc.

Thanks
 
YES!
It worked Andrew,
