Looking for formula that will pull data from sheet named 4-24 (Data in Cells B1 to B3) Tried INDIRECT but it didn't work. The sheet I am pulling from will change every week. ie... 4-24 will be 5-1next week.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Tried INDIRECT but it didn't work
Check this and revert -

Assuming you are putting formula in Cell B2 of current sheet

Excel Formula:
=Indirect(B$1&"!B1")

Challenge is -
  • It will update with changing sheet name.
  • But for cell address it has to be manual.
So you call pull across but not pull down to autofill.

@kevinb11 Given your date related sheet names I think you will need to have the surrounding single quote marks in the indirect sheet name string.

Below example shows 2 possible formulas that will drag.
B2:D4 if 'DATE' cells A2:A4 are formatted as TEXT
or
F2:H2 if 'DATE' cells are entered as date but custom formatted 'm-d'

F2:H3,F4F2=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&MONTH(F$1)&"-"&DAY(F$1)&"'"&"!B"&ROWS(D$1:D1)),"")
G4:H4G4=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&MONTH(G$1)&"-"&DAY(G$1)&"'"&"!B"&ROWS(E$1:E2)),"")


Hope that helps.
