I have a column of sheet tab names in Column A. I would like Column B to reference cell G44 in each corresponding sheet tab. This is the code I am using. However, it is giving me a reference error. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?


=INDIRECT((SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A6)," ","_"))&"!G44")

Edit: The title should say SUBSTITUTE

If the sheet names in col A are correct, just use
Excel Formula:
=INDIRECT(A6&"!G44")

And in case your sheet names contain spaces, try it like this ...
Excel Formula:
=INDIRECT("'"&A6&"'!G44")
