Worksheet name

[caroline]

I would like to refer to a worksheet name from a cell value
is there a formula equivalent to the VBA Worksheets(Range("A1").Value)
I want to use this in a vlookup function
=VLOOKUP(I27,Input!C1018,2,FALSE)
Where Input! would be replaced by Worksheets(Range("A1").Value)
and Range("A1")=Input
Thanks

This returns the worksheet name.
I want to do something different.
I have the worksheet name already in cell A1, and what to use this in a
formula.
Any idea.
Thanks

Hi Caroline

Use INDIRECT()
=VLOOKUP(I27,INDIRECT("'"&A1&"'!C1018"),2,FALSE)

Note the additional single quotes
INDIRECT( " ' "&A1 & " ' !C1018 ")
