How to have cells reference other cells for sheet names

How to have cells reference other cells for sheet names

I have sheets that are used to log daily data from multiple sources for each week. There is then a master sheet we use to pull data from whichever week(s) we want. This sheet needs its cells to be able to pull any particular column of data from a weekly sheet without directly referencing the sheet title - basically, each cell in a column should be pulling a sheet name from its header row . This way weekly data can be easily brought up in the master sheet just by changing the header row.

See the attached image for an example of what I'm trying to accomplish. in this case cell C3's formula should be reading the contents of cell C2 (4-8-19, which is the name of the sheet it should be pulling from) and appending a specified cell to that ($E5, for example) to pull the contents of the cell from that sheet (in this example, 600.00).

This and a few other things were workable in google sheets using INDIRECT and TO_TEXT in formulas, but that didn't survive the conversion. I tried making C2 into a text string but it refuses to work, gives an error. How would I get this to work here?
