Dynamic Sheet Name in Query in Google Spreashsheet

Question

In Google spreadsheet I want to query data in another sheet but the problem is that the name of sheet is present in a cell. So is there a way in QUERY function to dynamicall

Answer 1

the INDIRECT looks to be the problem. Try like this:

=query(INDIRECT(A1&"!A5:A10"),"select Col1")

i.e. if Cell A1 contains "food" the above is the same as:

=query(food!A5:A10,"select A")

and the same as:

=query(INDIRECT("food!A5:A10"),"select *")

**Note: the indirect uses "Col1" etc and not "A" because it does not pass the col letters.

Also ... The google groups forum might be a good place to look for spreadsheet formula answers. productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/docs/spreadsheets
