Can someone please tell me the correct syntax when using the "If Isdate" command when referencing a range in another worksheet that is not active?

I've tried a variety of guesses and none work, such as "If Worksheets("Inactivesheetname").Cells(3,1). isdate then". Yes, it makes no sense, but I'm desperate.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try this.
Code:
If IsDate(Worksheets("Inactivesheetname").Cells(3,1).Value) Then

That worked! Thanks very much!

BTW, I've seen that requirement to do that special marking of code before but I don't know how to do it. Might you please tell me?

If IsDate(Worksheets("Inactivesheetname").Cells(3,1).Value) Then
