Convert Cell Reference to Text in Excel

Convert Cell Reference to Text in Excel

I am trying to extract data from another sheet in an Excel file. The sheet name is stored in a cell.

This is the equation so far:

= INDIRECT("'" & $A$33 & "'!" & "C4")

The sheet name is in cell A33, and I want the contents of cell C4 in that sheet.

But I want to drag this to the right and have C4 update to D4, E4 etc. Is there a way to convert C4 to text so it can be used in INDIRECT, but also have it update with position?

The very short answer...

... CELL("address",C4)...
