I have Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.
On Sheet1 I have a reference to cell =Sheet2!N$36, but I want to refer to the column letter (N) in a dynamic way. As you can see I placed the column letters on Sheet1.
How to adjust the formula and refer to "N"? Something like =Sheet2!&(INDIRECT(Sheet1!A2))&$36

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
How about
Excel Formula:
=indirect("Sheet2!"&A2&"36")
