Hello

I'm trying to do some cell referencing range like this one.

Sheets("IDNUMBER").Select
IDNEW = Sheet5.Range("A1")

now the challenge is, since ill be creating sheets as i go the Sheet number wont be constant. so i made a sheet to house all my sheetname and their corresponding number.

START UP (these are the actual Sheetname)
1​
Sheet1 (sheet numbers)
Registration
2​
Sheet2
Evaluation
3​
Sheet3
Update
4​
Sheet4
IDNUMBER
5​
Sheet5
SHEETNUMBERDB
6​
Sheet6

Sheets("SHEETNUMBERDB").Select (select the above sheet)
Sheetrangefordb = Range("C7").Value (i have an empty row 1, so this should output "sheet6")

now heres the things i tried

Sheetnumberdbrangefinder1 = Sheetrangefordb.Range("B1")
(this doesnt work)
Sheetnumberdbrangefinder1 = Sheetrangefordb & ".Range(""B1"")"
(this kinda works but instead of making at formula, it just outputs everything as a string "Sheet6.Range("B1")


so to cut it short i guess, I just want to be able to reference the Sheet number so itll out put Sheet6.Range("B1") , With Sheet6 as a non constant value.

Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
nevermind figured it out, instead of using Sheet6.Range and trying to call "Sheet6". i just used worksheet(x).range("B1") dumb mistakes hahaha.
