i am referencing a worksheet using the indirect function.
excel is automatically adding the active worksheet name to the formula which
returns #REF. how can i how can i stop it from automatically adding the sheet
name?

thanks,
 
Assume we can't see your worksheet and formula you are attempting to create
using the INDIRECT function.

Now try a re-post with that information.

i have used this formula before (with 2003) without problems.
=INDIRECT("'" & B13)&"!"&"H56"
i am using excel 2007 now.
when i step through the "Evaluate Formula", the result on the side shows the
cell reference with the workseet name.

"Summary!$B$13" (B13 contains the sheet name i am referencing)
the result is "Summary!Option1!H56 which is not valid.
i need it to drop the current worksheet (Summary).
i can't find a setting or option to tell it not to do this.

i hope this makes more sense.
