Default Formula using worksheet names

What's the problem with =INDIRECT("'"&A3&"'!"&B10) ?

Unfortunately I am now stuck on a similar problem, which I thought would
be
easier. I now have sheets called Person a, Person b, . . . with figures I
want to pull through to a summary sheet. This time I have a table with
Person
a, Person b, . . . in a column, so I just want to say ='sheet(A3)'
cell(B10)
where A3 is 'Person a' and B10 is the cell figure I want to pull through.
I'm
getting tangled up with inverted commas. Please help!

I have several sheets, called say Code 1, Code 2 . . . Code 10, each with
a
table culminating in a total budget figure, which is in the same cell on
each
sheet, say B24. On a separate sheet I have a table with one row per code,
and
I want to show each code's budget figure next to the code numer, ie, Code
1:
£10000, Code 2: £5444 etc.
A way to do this is for each code to say ='Code x'!B24, where x is the
code
number. This involves me typing this in or clicking to link for each
code,
which is tedious for up to 100 codes. I want to write a formula on the
lines
of ='Code "A5"'!B24 where A5 is the code number, ie, "look at cell B24 in
the
sheet denoted by the code on this row".
I'm sorry, this isn't very easy to explain.
