aside from the doing this manually each time i either create a list or new sheets is there a formula for what i am trying to accomplish?


i have a workbook with lets say 4 worksheets.

work sheet 1 has my list of the other sheets names so we'll call it index.

Index
sheet-A
sheet-B
sheet-C


on my index works sheet i have a formula generating the additional sheet names (because i add more as time goes on, so this may be my problem is that they are not just written in name, but i am trying to remove as much manual input as possible.)

so in column A its

sheet-A
sheet-b
sheet-c

i need column B to provide the value in cell A1 on any given sheet.it will always be the same cell on each sheet.


so the results would be

Column A Column B
sheet-A 11
sheet-b 22
sheet-c 33

Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
