How to Fetch values from different based on the titles in the cell

[jaanuparthu1718]

Hi Folks,

I am preparing a Projections and Invoiced sheet for Invoicing. I have 2 sheets 1) Project Actuals ($) & 2) Project Projections ($).

1) What I would like to know is that - If my cell text is named as Projected under Project Actuals ($) (F3) it should be able to fetch values from Project Projections sheet (I4) against that particular month.

2) Secondly if my cell text name is changed to Invoiced (F3) under Project Actuals ($) then it should fetch the values from Project Projections ($) sheet from the Invoiced column (J4).

I know my ask might be peaks but I am not so good at excel but hoping there might be a solution for every question asked. Thanks in advance.

Hi Oldbrewer,

Thanks for your reply. But is there a way i can attach the file and share it so that it would be easy to understand. The 1) Project Actuals ($) & 2) Project Projections ($) are two different sheets.

Under project actuals sheet say for ex: for the month of Oct 2017 i would have initially named the cell as projections under Oct and they should be fetched from Project projections. When i have the actual values updated within the Project Projection sheet and change the cell name to Invoiced in the sheet named Project Actuals it should fetch the values from Invoiced overwriting the projections value.

So my data fetching key point is my cell name under Project Actuals. Let me know if there is a way to share my file to make it easy.

Hope i have confused you a lot
