Sounds like you should be looking at the INDIRECT function in HELP.

hi all,

i'd love it if someone could show off their excel prowess on this
one.

what i'm trying to do is have a workbook with multiple "common"
worksheets and one main worksheet. on the main worksheet i want
to
have a drop-down menu where you select which common worksheet you
want
to pull data from to populate the main worksheet.

the common worksheets will always be the exact same structure and
will
contain a weeks worth of data. every week i want to "move and
copy" a
common worksheet so that i have one worksheet for evey week. i
don't
want to have to make a million worksheets at the inception of the
workbook.

what i think will be the tricky part is having the drop-down menu
automatically update so at any point in time i would be able to
select
any common worksheet available.

ready to learn...
