Hallo,

The workbook contains sheets with name containing parenthesis. Ex. (1), (2),...I want to refer to them using the next function but it doesn't work. It works when the parenthesis are removed. The function is: =INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(B2;"!F";B1)).

Cell B2 conains sheet names
Cell B1 contains cell number
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Just like sheet names with spaces, the parenthesis named sheets will require single quotes around them. Like this:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("'"; B2;"'!F";B1))
