Hi Connie,
Since you are dragging horizontally and change the H2 to $H2 That way the "H" portion will not change when using the fill handle. If you make changes to the other worksheets that change their addresses then other worksheets will get a change to their addresses as well as long as the address are accessible basically not within quotes. You might then reread some of the answers, particularly .http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/fillhand.htm you might also look at Chip Pearson's relative vs absolute addressing Relative And Absolute Addressing http://www.cpearson.com/excel/relative.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Connie" wrote in message ...

Hi Connie
first you told us that your sheets are named for example JAN 2004 (so month name plus year value). If your sheets are named only JAN then use the formula: =INDIRECT("'" & TRIM(B2) &"!H2") So to check if this formula is correct for you just enter everything that is within the brackets as a sparate formula so ="'" & TRIM(B2) &"!H2") This should return a string which matches EXACTLY with a manual entered sheet reference. If this still does not work email me your example file email: frank[dot]kabel[at]freenet[dot]de -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Connie wrote: I get #REF! with this formula.

If I put $H2 instead of just H2, then I get the same
answer in every month---that is, H2 from the worksheet JAN 2004 goes in all the months, instead of H2 from FEB 2004 going under the column heading FEB on the summary sheet, H2 from MAR 2004 going under the column heading MAR on the summary sheet, etc. I have entered the formulas individually. Below are the values I want in each cell without having to enter them individually. I have many rows to do the same way. It's a long process enter them this way, but so far is the only thing that works. A B C D 1 JAN FEB MAR 2 ='JAN 2004'!H2 ='FEB 2004'!H2 ='MAR 2004'!H2 Both web sites you gave me to read are to do with filling cells within the SAME worksheet. I am wanting to pick the H2 cell in each consecutive worksheet and plunk them all within the summary worksheet without having to do each one individually.

the problem of the #REF error is that the sheet name does not match with the string in the INDIRECT formula.

Hi Connie,
Don't give up yet. B2: Jan Propagates across row 2 as Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr etc. using the Custom list, if you have it there otherwise type them across as you have done. If you have something in C2: like =INDIRECT("'" & TRIM(B2) & " 2004'!H2") Also make up a C4 like ="'" & TRIM(B2) & " 2004'!H2" So you will see from the 4th row exactly what you are creating. as used within the INDIRECT Worksheet Formula. progagate your C4 cell across just like you did for C3, you could do them both (B3:B4) or all three (B2:B4) the same time with the fill handle. B2: Jan B3: =INDIRECT("'" & TRIM(B2) & " 2004'!H2") B4: ="'" & TRIM(B2) & " 2004'!H2" C2: Feb C3: =INDIRECT("'" & TRIM(C2) & " 2004'!H2") C4: ="'" & TRIM(C2) & " 2004'!H2" When using Month names in sheetnames, or in filenames, do consider whether having a form like 2004-09 for a month, or 2004-09-15 for a date, might make more sense as they can be sorted and will appear in the correct order.
