How do I concatenate text in a different sheet and a changing number

Hi.
I need to concatenate text and year that are stored in a different sheet and get the result in a second sheet so that the year number changes depending on what the year is
For example :
if I have the base year 2022 in Sheet 1
The concatenated texts in Sheet 2 should look like this " Calendar Year 2020" and "Calendar Year 2021".
IOW, the year number next to the text "Calendar Year" should decrease by 2 and 1 depending on the base.
In Excel, if the base year is in Sheet1, cell A1 : the formula is written as follows:
=CONCATENATE("Calendar Year", Sheet1!A1-2) to get "Calendar Year 2020)
Thanks.

Use this,
="Calendar Year " + {That single cell selected as sheet1 range} - 2)

@User251 Apologies that I missed the important part in my formula, I meant to say please use this so that you can reference the cell from other sheet as a range,
="Calendar Year " + VALUE({That single cell selected as sheet1 range} - 2)

Thank you @Sameer Karkhanis .Your suggestion solves my issue when I am referencing a cell within the same sheet. It looks like it is not possible to use a reference sheet with concatenation.
