I'm trying to write 1 formula vs 1200 so here we go and thank you in advance for the help

- I have a workbook with two tabs called WK1 and WK2
- In WK1, Cell A1 = 5
- In WK2, Cell A1 contains the text "WK1" and cell B1 contains the formula ='WK1'!A1 which equals 5

My goal here is to update the formula in WK2 cell B1 so that it the formula text is pulled from B1 rather than me having to type it

Is that possible?

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Don't quite understand your explanation but maybe this:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,1,,,A1))
