§ Remarks
- SHEET locating/identification capability includes all worksheets (visible, hidden, or very hidden) in addition to all other sheet types (macro, chart, or dialog sheets).
- If the value argument is not a valid reference, SHEET returns the #REF! error. For example, =SHEET(Sheet1!#REF) will return the #REF! error value.
- If the value argument is not a valid sheet name, SHEET returns the #NA error value. For example, =SHEET(“badSheetName”) will return the #NA error value.
- SHEET is not available in the Object Model (OM) because the Object Model already includes similar functionality.
