Hi I have two sheets in a workbook.

I'm using this:

='worksheet1'!D2 to get information from the first worksheet into a cell on the second worksheet.

What I want to do is populate a cell on worksheet two with the cell number to reference on worksheet 1. I can't get a formula to be accepted that will reference a cell on worksheet 2 that might say F20 so that it replaces D2 in the formula. Is it possible to do this?

thanks

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Say the cell on sheet2 is D2 and contains F20:
=INDIRECT("'worksheet1'!"&D2)
