Indirect reference (again?)

[Hundikoer]

Hi

I have a question Iam not able to find exact answer and my excel skills
are not very high-end

So, I have a Excel document that has Main worksheet and several
(inreasing) number of worksheets, named by customer. I would like to
get information from each customer worksheet to main sheet, but the
source worksheet name should be indirect and recived from main sheet.

I have tried several versions

=INDORECT("'" & D208 & "'!E10")
=INDIRECT(D208 & "!E10")

etc...

where D208 is name of company (also name of the sheet data should be
captured) and E10 cell of cource sheet


Can anyone give me correct direction?

Think

=INDIRECT(D208 & "!E10")

should work, assuming D208 contains the actual sheetname

Maybe you could also try:
=INDIRECT("'"& TRIM(D208) & "'!E10")

Ensure that the actual sheetnames (the names entered on the tabs) match
exactly* with what's in D208, etc. Check for any inadvertent extraneous
leading, trailing or in-between "white" space(s) in the actual sheetname.
These may not readily be visible and would throw the matching off (You'll
get #REF!).
*case aside

Now one more question

I have used hyperlinks, to open folders, that use dynamic (indirec
names)
like: =HYPERLINK("\\Smm\IntShared\Es\Data\"&H569&"";"Folder") and lik
in initial question I had in the topic.

But how can I open a worksheet in same workbook (do not want to use th
name of file) when worksheet name is located for excample in cell H569?

The worksheets are in the same workbook? And H569 has the name of that
worksheet?

=HYPERLINK("#'"&H569&"'!a1")
