#VALUE Error In Indirect Formula
Sep 24, 2008rate2008
rate2007
...
And I want to show this data in a table, where I have the years 2008, 2007, ... in cells A1:A10 and the formulas =INDIRECT("rate"&A1), =INDIRECT("rate"&A2), ... in cells B1:B10.
For some reason, I am getting nothing but #VALUE! errors in my indirect formulas. In fact, even if I take out the indirect and just have ="rate"&A1, ="rate"&A2, etc., I still get the errors. It seems like the problem is with the & operator. This only seems to be a problem in this certain workbook; I am able to get the desired results if I open a new workbook.
COUNTIFS And INDIRECT Function - Formula Not Working And Keep Getting Error Message?
Apr 25, 2014Because countif cannot be used across multiple tabs, I'm using the following workaround where "MySheets" is the range of tabs and E8 is the cell I want "counted".
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&MySheets&"'!E8"),"Fully implemented"))
This works perfectly, except that I really need COUNTIFS... I want Excel to count either "Fully implemented" or "Partially implemented" when in E8. I cannot get the formula to work and keep getting an error message.
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&MySheets&"'!E8"),"Fully implemented",(INDIRECT("'"&MySheets&"'!E8"),"Partially implemented")))
Indirect Function #REF! Error
Mar 1, 2009In Excel 2007, the following cell Q14 CSE formula accurately returns the row number of the first negative value in the column P array P14:P102.
{=MAX(ROW(INDIRECT(ROW()&":"&MIN(IF(P14:P102="",ROW(P14:P102)))))*(INDIRECT("P14:P"&MIN(IF(P14:P102="",ROW(P14:P102))))
#ref Error With Indirect Function
Jun 24, 2006I have been searching through your forum but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem. I have two sheets: On one sheet in cell b2 I have a validation list whose source is =Indirect(Subgroup) which gives a #ref error. However when I evaluate Subgroup, I get a legitimate range. I have attached an example of what I am trying to do.

Jul 7, 2009I am setting up a summary sheet that contains =indirect() functions for workbooks that don't exist yet.
I would like some kind of function that returns the =indirect() function correctly if the workbook exists and just a 0 or blank if the workbook doesn't exist.
I would like to have the indirect function in all of cells that as soon as someone creates a workbook it will update the summary sheet.
Indirect Giving Me A REF Error When Closing Workbook
Nov 2, 2007My indirect formula doesn't work when I have the entire path defined. I have the entire filepath specified (which will never change), and then I have cell A6 with the tab name of the worksheet on the workbook
.
Workbook 1 named 'Testme' contains the table with range a2:b5
Worbook 2 contains the formula
I put this formula into workbook2 (the tab in the example is named hitab & I put that name in cell B6)
Here is what I have:Does not work even when other workbook is open
=VLOOKUP(B6,INDIRECT("'H:CUSTOMERSCurrentClientAMRO and General SuppliesBearings, Motors, PTsSavings Tracking[Testme.xls]"&A6&"'!a2:b5"),2,FALSE)
This DOES work when workbook is open, but not when it is closed (which would seem logical if when the workbook is closed, the formula needs the exact path)
=VLOOKUP(B5,INDIRECT("[Testme.xls]"&A6&"!$a$2:$b$5"),2,FALSE)
I can hard code everything except the tab name. Why doesn't Indirect recognize an entire file path and also why does it give a REF error?
- I did a search and found that some people said to use the add-in Indirect.exe. I followed the link and the page was no longer found.
Indirect: Reflect The Data In The Active Sheet Or Give Me A #VALUE Error
Jan 16, 2009I am running the formula =VALUE(RIGHT(CELL("filename"),15)) to read the tab name in a workbook with 90 sheets. When a new account is opened, the operator inserts a new sheet from a template (which contains the above formula), and labels the tab to the account number. The formula then 'reads' in the account number and performs look-ups based on it.
The problem is that the sheets are only working when the sheet is active. They all seem to reflect the data in the active sheet or give me a #VALUE error. Where am I going wrong? How do I fix the problem?
Develop An Indirect Indirect Validation Drop Down List
Aug 18, 2009I am trying to develop an Indirect Indirect Validation drop down list. Example, Building - Floor - Room, i.e. Select Building from a Validation drop down list. Then based upon the Building selected, select only the Floors applicable to the Building Selected. I am able to achieve this via an Indirect Validation drop down. However, when I attempt to then select the Rooms applicable to the Floor of the Building I selected, I can not produce an Indirect Validation off a previous Indirect Validation.
In the attachment, I have used Plant - Location - Room. I have name ranged the selections, and have used Validations Lists for Plant, and Indirect Validations for Location. The error occurs where I attempt to do an Indirect Validation for Room.
Copying Down An Indirect Formula
Aug 20, 2009How can I copy down an indirect formula? When I copy it the lookup reference doesn't change. My formula is: =IF(INDIRECT("Q1")="",INDIRECT("R1"),INDIRECT("Q1"))
but when I copy down the cell reference stays the same (I need to keep the indirect formula because I'm adding columns in column Q but it needs to reference column Q even when columns are added). From reading through some other posts I believe I need to add a ROW() or COLUMN() formula in there somewhere.
SUMPRODUCT With Indirect Formula
Jul 15, 2013I am trying to sum the same data across several tabs but I am using information in the column and row headers to find it. For some reason this formula wont work and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
=SUMPRODUCT(N(INDIRECT(""&Sheets&"!"&ADDRESS(MATCH($A$12,$A:$A,0),MATCH($G$3,3:3,0)),FALSE)))
I'm getting #REF! and when I step through it, it fails when it reaches the Indirect statement.

Add Indirect Formula Via Macro
Oct 26, 2006I need to create a formula for a series of ranges that have a variable sheet name (which is located on sheet Backend!E15) and when it creates the formula will reference the exact same cell on the variable sheet.
this is what i have so far...
Option Explicit
Sub formulaset()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim target As String
For Each Cell In Range("b4:al132")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
target = Cell.Address
Cell.FormulaR1C1 = "=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(BackEnd!E15,""!"",target))"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Next Cell
End Sub
but this is the answer I am getting in the first cell of the range...
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(BackEnd! 'E15',"!",target))
as you can see I am having trouble getting the target address to lock in. To make things worse, its needs to be in " " so the concatenate creates the corect address link.
Alternate Formula For Sum Indirect
Feb 14, 2007I have tried to apply '= SUM(INDIRECT("A2:A10"))' formula to do the SUM at cell A11. But, if I add two more Rows, then my formula moves down to cell A13 but numbers in Cell A11 and A12 does not get added to the total. How can I avoid that? I have reserached this site extensively and could not find an archived solution.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFormula To Increment Indirect References
Mar 5, 2009I have a sheet which needs to look up one reference and then fill a table with the rest of them.
EG:
Cell A1 contains '0091 911'!$E$2 (cell E2 contains value 100)
Cell A2 contains =indirect(A1) and displays value 100
I need a formula which will auto fill the remaining cells in the table.
eg:
Cell A3 fills to contain '0091 911'!$E$3 (row +1)
Cell B2 fills to contain '0091 911'!$F$2 (column +1)
so it needs to fill the Indirect reference and not =indirect(A1),=indirect(A2)....

SUMPRODUCT INDIRECT & SUMIF Formula
Jul 12, 2006I have a set of data as attached where the productivity of each staff is recorded on a daily basis.However, the cell in which their name is located on each tab of the day of the month might not be the same. I am thankful that the forum actually provided me with the formula located in cell c15.
1)However, I would appreciate if someone could translate what the formula means as I am not so sure what the formula represents.
2)The reason is I would like to calculate how many training days (TR), Medical Leave(ML) and Emergency Leave(EL) for the month of January for each staff.I tried modifying the formula but it didnt work.
3) Is it possible to use a vlookup function for this solution?
Indirect Function In Picture Formula
Mar 31, 2007I'm in the middle of making a yahtzee game in excel. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the indirect function in the formula of a picture. I have embedded 6 bitmap images of dice on sheet 2 (worksheet name: "Dice Images"). I took a picture of one of those dice and pasted that picture on sheet1. The formula in the picture is: ='Dice Images'!$A$1
This means that it is refering to cell A1 of the "Dice Images" worksheet of which contains the pasted bitmap of the dice image. I was wondering if I could use the INDIRECT function instead of the formula above but the following returns an error:
=INDIRET("'Dice Images'!$A$2",true). It returns the following error: "The text you entered is not a valid reference or defined name". It doesn't seem to like the INDIRECT function for some reason, unless I am doing something wrong.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRelative Indirect Formula To SUM Range
Feb 13, 2008I am using VB in Excel to write a formula for summing a column of numbers that will vary in length. I have been using the Indirect formula and have the start and end cells of the range identified in another location. My problem is, the macro in vb is sending the Indirect formula to the cells containing the start and end points by using relative functions ie. go across 30 columns and up 10 rows to get start cell. I wanted it to just save the cell location of the start and end points.
EG.
VB formula is: "= SUM(INDIRECT(R[-23]C[27]&R3C29):INDIRECT(R[-23]C[27]&R3C30))"
whereas I just want it to read "=Sum(Indirect(C4&D5):INDIRECT(C4&D6))"
where cell C4 gives the column letter and D5 the row number of the start of the range and C4 and D6 give the column letter and row number of the end of the range.
Non Volatile Replacement For INDIRECT In SUMIFS Formula
Dec 4, 2013Okay so I'm trying to us the SUMIFS formula to add values on a different sheet based on criteria on that sheet but I want to use a text string on the sheet with the SUMIFS formula to reference the sheet with the data on it.
My original formula was:
=SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!K4:K500"),INDIRECT("'"&$A$2&"'!B4:B500"),"=LEFT(AA1,2)",LEFT(INDIRECT("'"&$A$2&"'!C4:C500"),3),"=MID(AA1,7,3)")
However I kept getting an error and excel said that INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!K4:K500") was volatile, so I tried to replace it with INDEX and my formula was:
=SUMIFS(INDEX(A2:A2,1)&"'!K4:K500",INDEX(A2:A2,1)&"'!B4:B500",LEFT(AA1,2),LEFT(INDEX(A2:A2,1)&"'!C5:C500",3),MID(AA1,7,3))
However INDEX(A2:A2,1)&"'!K4:K500" returns the value "1251062 EP.EL+CB-A10'!K4:K500" which wont calculate properly because of the quotation marks but excel is auto inserting them.
Sheet Cell Reference And INDIRECT Formula
Jun 9, 2009I have this formula in excel 2007:
=COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"1";Blad1!X:X;"H")+COUNTIFS(Blad1!W:W;"6";Blad1!X:X;"H").
Blad is Dutch for sheet, by the way.
In this formula, I want to let the ranges in Sheet1 be dependent of values in Sheet2. The formula itself is in Sheet2.
W must be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B12 and X to be replaced by the value of Sheet2!B9.
I tried this by using the INDIRECT formula, but the quotation marks of the search values are giving errors.
Dynamic Cell Reference In Indirect Formula
Oct 11, 2011I need making a dynamic cell reference in an indirect formula, which looks at a different workbook.
The other workbook is called: ESF.xlsx
The sheet name in the other workbook is defined in Cell B2
The first cell i need to pull across is B115.
In cell B8, This is what i have so far:
=INDIRECT("[ESF.xlsx]"&B2&"!"&"B115")
How do i make it so that i can copy this formula quickly, but so only the row and column reference change?
Like in C8 i would want it to look at cell C115, In C9, id want it to look at C116 etc.
Changing Indirect Reference When Dragging Formula
Dec 9, 2012I have been using the following formula to do conditional summing over multiple worksheets:

The formula works fine, but when I drag it to the next column c3:c39 stays the same. How do I get that reference to change when I drag the formula over multiple columns.

Using Indirect Formula To Pull In Data From Different Worksheet
Jul 7, 2014I am trying to use the indirect formula to pull in data from a cell in a different worksheet using the tab name as my reference. For example:
I have my tab name in cell A2, then I am using this formula to pull the information from cell g29 on the tab listed in A2, but its not working:
=INDIRECT(A2&”!”&”g29″)
Also, my tab name in cell a2 is a date, does that make any difference? I've tried a couple variations on the indirect formula and have gone from the #REF! error to the #NAME? error.
