Thank you Sergey, that works. Now I need to make it generic :)

That means that if the formula is in cell S10, the formula should be =INDIRECT("'" & S7 & "'!D8"). (The name of the worksheet is always in row 7 of the same column where the formula is).

I tried to obtain this cell's column by CELL("col"), but that gives the column *number*, not the letter. Do you know how to obtain this column's cell letter?

What resources do you recommend to become proficient at VBA (for Excel).

Thank you.

Alex
