I have a dropdown list of all the sheet names in my workbook. I have similar values in the same cells of each sheet. Is there a way that I make a formula or a macro that will use the dropdown list value to select the correct sheet to pull the data from?
 
Insufficient information as you don't tell the cell of the dropdon list and the target cell which houses a value that you want to retrieve.

Let A2 house the dropdown list. Let E4 = the target cell.

In B2 enter:

=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!E4")

Is this what you intended?

That returns #REF! My drop down list in cell E13 contains the names of other sheets in this case it's "Half Inch Clean" E16 is the target cell.
