Modification of Forumula

[JPM73]

Hi Excel Users,

I have a file that has multiple worksheets in it. The majority of the worksheets is a basic form that helps summarize job requirements for each project.

In this file, I have a Work Summary Log worksheet in which I'm extracting some data from the other worksheets to "summarize" all jobs into one nice work summary log.

The following form works great to "automatically" extract desired data from desired worksheets.

=IF(C20="","",INDIRECT("'"&C20&"'!I9"))

C20 = Worksheet name or Worksheet tab name

Example: 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1

I9 = The desired extracted data
I have a handful of variables for each task, such as:
C = Complete
WIP = Work in Progress

When I use the above formula, I would like the result to be 'C' or "WIP" if that's what is stated from the 03-2008-TNG06307-101_P1 form.


If I copy this formulat to the next row or rows, the "I9" variable does not change - The rest of the formula is fine.

How can I modify this formula so that "I9" variable becomes "I10" & gives the desired result from the worksheet in which I'm extracting data from?

Is there another formular that works similar to the above formula or description given that will provide desired results?

Thanks

I thought I9 would not change if it were actually written as $I$9 and in which case you would amend it to $I9, the I remaining and the 9 changing to $I10... but you don't show any $ signs...
Have I got it wrong?

Hi JMW,

Thanks for reply. It appears that my current forumula is has a "string" value, rather than a "variable" value, in which I want for this particular row or cell.

I reposted my question & included an Excel file. Perhaps, you can assist.

Thanks
