Looking for formula that will pull data from sheet named 4-24 (Data in Cells B1 to B3) Tried INDIRECT but it didn't work. The sheet I am pulling from will change every week. ie... 4-24 will be 5-1next week.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

Check this and revert -

Assuming you are putting formula in Cell B2 of current sheet

Excel Formula:
=Indirect(B$1&"!B1")

Challenge is -
  • It will update with changing sheet name.
  • But for cell address it has to be manual.
So you call pull across but not pull down to autofill.

@kevinb11 Given your date related sheet names I think you will need to have the surrounding single quote marks in the indirect sheet name string.

Below example shows 2 possible formulas that will drag.
B2:D4 if 'DATE' cells A2:A4 are formatted as TEXT
or
F2:H2 if 'DATE' cells are entered as date but custom formatted 'm-d'

F2:H3,F4F2=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&MONTH(F$1)&"-"&DAY(F$1)&"'"&"!B"&ROWS(D$1:D1)),"")
G4:H4G4=IFERROR(INDIRECT("'"&MONTH(G$1)&"-"&DAY(G$1)&"'"&"!B"&ROWS(E$1:E2)),"")


Hope that helps.
