The formula is as shown below and works great - except when the name is one that includes a quote mark, e.g. Frank O'Hara. How to adjust formula to fix this problem? =SUM(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$V$57")) Hi – I have a formula that references a cell in a name column for selecting a same-named worksheet tab as part of a cell-reference in the same-named worksheet.

Then you can work on recombining what you want. Or possibly using the formula: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))))) to find the last name in combination with the find & left formulas to only show the first names.

That is assuming the last name is only a single word and is at the end (suffixes can mess that idea up) To get the last word in a cell try using a formula such as this: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(“*”,SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,”*”,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,” “,”"))))) .
