Default Using Input from cell to select data from another sheet

Hi,
I have a little problem that I can't figure out. Maybe any of you clever people can help me.
I have a normal workbook containing Sheet1 and 3 sheets named: 1000 m, 2000 m, 3000 m.


On Sheet1 I have an input cell. I would like to use that input cell to select data from sheet 1000 m or 2000 m.
ex If input cell is 2000 m I should use data from 2000 m sheet.
I have tried to mess around with Defining name of the input cell like this:
Input cell defined as Input.
Then I though I could do something like this in another cell on sheet1:
=Input!A2
If the Input is 1000 m it should then use data from sheet 1000 m cell A2
If the Input is 2000 m it should then use data from sheet 2000 m cell A2
But it doesn't work.
I'm an Excel novice so any suggestion is more than welcome

Then INDIRECT function didn't do the trick for me. But I found another solution.
Thanks
