Hi Noorian,
One option is to format the reference cell (with the date in it) as text, then 
type in the date again, exactly as it appears on the appropriate sheet tab. You 
also need to add single quotes around the sheet name, so the indirect function 
looks like this:
INDIRECT("'"&B6&"'!A:B") Without the single quotes, I think Excel reads the 
dash as a subtraction sign.
I've attached your sheet with these modifications.
As to your question regarding case-sensitive VLOOKUP, I have given a slightly 
shorter, non-array alternative using LOOKUP for you to have a look at.
Regards - Dave

Hi,
The problem is not the sheet names, but the indirect refering to a date, which 
is really just a date code, not a date as displayed.

Hi All, 


I suggest all of you don't say this function I like and then this one like 
that.  Just sharing the function name won't help others to gain some knowledge. 
 All the functions which is available in excel is having the same set of 
qualities unless it is used in perfect combination.


So give brief about the function and its different type of usages which you 
came across in your   past.


Hope this makes sense.
