The easiest way I know to do this is to use the INDIRECT function. If your employee IDs are all valid worksheet names, it is pretty simple. The employee ID numbers do not have any blanks or special characters, for example, "654321".

In worksheet "shee1" you have a cell B2, you have an employee ID number "654321". There is a worksheet named "654321" with a value that you wan to retrieve in cell D10.

In some other cell on sheet1, you can put the following formula:

=INDIRECT(B2&"!$D$10)

and you will have the value you wanted.
