I'm want a formula on Sheet 1 to refer back to a cell on Sheet 6, but I keep
getting an error no matter what I do. This is an example of the formula:
=Sheets(6)!G53
Can't I use a sheet name to get a value from another sheet, or am I missing
something stupid I'm doing?  I do know the sheet name is correct.  Thanks!

If the sheetname is really: Sheet 6
then: ='Sheet 6'!G53

Just  ='Sheet 6'!G53  should do the trick

Sheet(6) is VBA syntax for referring to sheet position in the workbook.

I've used that formula to no avail, but after I got thinking about this I
think I've figured out why the formula isn't working.  I converted this file
from Lotus 123.  Even though the sheet index number says it's Sheet 6, I
think it lost that affiliation somewhere along the line.  I can reference it
with VB, but not in a formula.  I'll just do this a different way, and forget
the formula altogether. Thanks to you and Max for your responses.
