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.
