Dynamic Cell Reference In Indirect Formula
Oct 11, 2011
I 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.

I 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.

I want to create a formula of the form: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4,2,2,TRUE,($A9) and insert this in a cell BUT the $A9 reference needs to reference the row of the cell where the formula is being inserted which will vary. ie. A30, A31, etc. How do I do this?

I am using the formula below to sum across several worksheets, and the formula I am using works fine, but when I copy the formula across to other cells, I can't figure out how to have it update my cell range:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!A:A"),$B4,INDIRECT("'"&$A$1:$A$4&"'!G:G")))
The range A:A is ok to be static, but I need the G:G to be dynamic so when I drag it to the right it will change from G:G to H:H. I:I, etc.

I have been using the following formula to do conditional summing over multiple worksheets:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$AB$2:$AB$13&"'!b3:b39"),$B16,INDIRECT("'"&$AB$2:$AB$13&"'!c3:c39")))
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.

COPYING indirect formula. When I copy, the lookup reference does not change. My formula is =INDIRECT("'"&$A247&"'!j106"). When I copy horizontally across cells, I want J106 to increase, ie j107, j108 etc. At the moment it remains at J106 and i have to manually increase the numbers by 1.
How do I change my formula so that the numbers increase automatically?

Attached I have a document where I am wanting all of the individual sheet names on the Total page. Rather than having to change each formula to match the sheet name I believe there is a way to reference the sheet name column (AO) in the formula so you can drag it down to fill in the columns. I am basic with Excel and do not know how to add this indirect function into my current formulas.

I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.

Trying to use INDIRECT to sum the contents of a column on another worksheet upto a certain cell reference which is in another cell on the worksheet.
=SUM(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A4:Sheet1!"&B1))
I have taken it back to simply having sheet1 with numbers in A4 to A23, then sheet2 with A23 in cell B1, and the formula above it C9, but I keep getting #REF!.
The formula works fine if on sheet1 without the worksheet names in it. Formula evaluation gets to =SUM(INDIRECT("Sheet1!A4:Sheet1!A23")) then gives =SUM(#REF!)

I would like to be able to write a formula which references text within a cell and the formula automatically changes when the text changes. Example is attached.
Current formula is
=IF(E2="A",F2-A2,IF(E2="B",F2-B2,IF(E2="C",F2-C2,F2-D2)))
Is it possible to write the formula so if I change "A" in A1 to "Z" the formula will change as well? Or the formula will at least always reference the text within the cell, not necessarily the text that exists at the formula's conception?

Is it possible to copy a formula and have the worksheet name increase incrementally instead of the cell reference? Example: In column A, I have the following -
=TDI_SR_F_1!$G$1
=TDI_SR_F_1!$G$2
=TDI_SR_F_1!$G$3
I want to copy this across to column B, but instead of just copying that exact foruma across I am wanting a formula that will update the worksheet reference to:
=TDI_SR_F_2!$G$1
=TDI_SR_F_2!$G$2
=TDI_SR_F_2!$G$3
TDI_SR_F_2 is the worksheet after TDI_SR_F_1. NB - I cant use find and replace function as it will change the '1' which is part of the cell reference ($G$1) to a 2 as well. I know I can use TDI_SR_F_3 as a search string, but the process is going to be extremely tedious, i.e. there are literally over 100 rows I need to do the find and replace on.

I have a problem creating a circular reference with dynamic ranges. I have searched already but can't find the specifc problem. I have a spreadsheet where I use vba code to insert extra columns. Within the worksheet there are sum calculations at the end of each row. When I add a new column within the table I would like the sum calculation to expand to account for this extra column.
Now, I thought that dynamic ranges would be the way to go but the only way I can see to do it creates a circular reference as the CountA function trys to count the cell with the sum function in it.

I'm trying to build a dynamic formula where a cell reference shifts one column over when a certain percentage changes. It's hard to explain, but the attached workbook should make it clear what I'm trying to accomplish.

I need a dynamic formula which if hard-coded would be something like =(tabname!A7).
But instead of A, I want a calculated value such as ($C$2*12+1). My columns are numbered, so I want to say "the 26th column along", "the 37th along" etc, as C changes. I tried the index formula but couldn't get it to work, assuming it is even the right one.

Q: How can I point excel to the begining value cell if I know the ending value cell and the nubmer of cells to move to get there?
More details:
I have an investing sheet that I need to calculate the CAGR (compound annual growth rate). The formula is (ending value/begining value)^(1/number of years)-1
The number of years can vary but the ending value will aways be in the same cell. I am using a count to see how many years have been entered.

The original worksheet will have a sheet of data, but I want the user to be able to insert a row of data into this sheet and have the original values still referenced in the macro.
I do not believe the range function will work, because the relative cell positions are what are changing. Also, the offset command would not work, because the positions are not absolute to the active cell. Correct me if I am wrong...
Snippet of
If Shape = "Freeform 30" Then 'AR
Receiver = "kim.randy@companyX.com"
End If
I want it to point to something like =Receivers!C13
How would I do this without hardcoding the data above?

I have a question about dynamic cell references that I canīt find any info about anywhere else. This is what I want to do: I need to create a sentence that changes depending on user choices. Example:
Cell A1 = Sheet!AX
Displayed text Dear Mr. "name"
Where the X is a number that will change depending on other things. I would love to do something like: =Sheet!A(E1). Where the value in E1 is for example 4. The result would then be =Sheet!A4 and if I changed the value in E1 the reference =Sheet!A(E1) would also change. I donīt know the syntax for doing this or if it is even possible.

I am looking to start writing a code that will a row # from a dynamic cell within the workbook and use that row # to select the row and delete it.
Example:
In Cell G5=8
I would like the VBA code to see 8 as row 8 and delete row 8.
Row 8 is determined by looking up a name and finding which row it is in and returning the row number.

In the attached spreadsheet I am trying to always reference the sum column from Qty in Det Est.
This is because the number of roads changes for each project.
I created a dynamic range name surfacing with the following formula:
=offset(qty!$a$1,0,0,counta(qty!$A$A), counta(qty!$1$1)).
My question is what formula do I use to reference the sum column for each row on the Det Est Sheet.

In the example I have attached there are two sheets, Details and DataTables. There are also a number of named ranges, both static and dynamic, that refer to data on the DataTables sheet. Most of the static ranges were added for debugging purposes. The tables have been shortened for this example.
On the Details sheet column A has a drop down that allows you to select the make of a device. Column B builds its drop down list based on what is selected in column A. The data validation in B2 uses a named dynamic range and the drop down does not work. The data validation in C2 used a named static range and the drop down works.
Column C will fill in the RU value based on what is selected in column B. Cell C3 uses named dynamic range and it does not work. Cell C4 uses named static range and it works.
I would like to used named dynamic ranges if possible so when data is added to the tables the named dynamic ranges will self adjust. Can what I want to do be done?

I have a dynamic named rage "AREA" which can contains values like "Area1, Area2, Area3, ..."
For each item in list AREA I have another dynamic named range, named exactly as the item, so for example I have a dynamic named range "AREA1" with values "SubArea1.1, SubArea1.2, ..." and also a dynamic named range "AREA2" with values "SubArea2.1, SubArea2.2, ..." and so on, I think it's pretty clear and straight forward (I am modelling the fact to have several areas and each of them has several sub areas).
Now, I have cell A1 being validated against the list AREA, that is, the source for A1 is "=AREA", so that I can choose one of the values in the named range AREA; I also have cell A2 being validated against the list that I choose in cell A1 using the INDIRECT function, that is, the source for A2 is "=INDIRECT(A1)".
I have already realised that this approach for cell A2 does not work, as it seems that INDIRECT does not work for dynamica named cells.
An option would be using the following for the source of A2: ....

=INDIRECT(CHAR(39)& F2 & CHAR(39) & "!BC7")
I would like to make BC7 dynamic. In other words, the text in this formula, BC7, should come from a cell A4 which today says BC7 but next month the value in A4 will say BD7.

I currently have a file that is linked to an external workbook that is referencing a certain cell from a certain tab. The below is what Column A & B look like right now. What I'm wanting to know is is there a way to have the formula in Column B automatically reference the name in Column A (which is the tab name in the external workbook) instead of having to manually change the formula when the value in Column A changes?
In other words, I want everything in the external reference formula to remain the same except have the person's name change dynamically...

I have a list of named cells (i.e. Group1, Group2, Group3, etc)
I have a form control that allows the user to select which of the groups they would like to include.
I need to create a series of formulas that average the price of all the chosen groups. So if they just want to average Group1, Group3, Group5 they could do so by simply selecting the checkboxes associated with those names.
I am struggling to be able to create a formula which will look at the list of chosen values and Average only those names. If all groups were chosen this would be easy as I would simply use the:=Average(indirect(a1),indirect(a2)...and so on. However that assumes that I always know which values are being chosen. I have a fixed list of choices but if they don't choose one of the options then the indirect statement will be referencing a null value which than either returns to me a #REF or will factor in a '0' which then throws off the average.

The following formula produces the desired result:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(TEXT(A8,"mmm")&"!B2:Z100"),"SK")
but replacing the range of cells with a dynamic named range returns #REF!:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(TEXT(A8,"mmm")&"!Data"),"SK")
where A8 is the date 01/01/07. I'm trying to count items within the range Jan!Data.
I'm not sure if I'm trying to do the impossible, or if I'm missing something.

I have a dynamic validation list (see attached) which will not accept the indirect function as a formula in the listbox.
Using the named range on its own works fine, but using the indirect generates an error.

Reduced to it's simplest form I have a formula
=1*(FY2012_TY), where FY2012_TY
is a Defined Name which refers to a column on another tab in the workbook, and is defined as:
=OFFSET(Table!$AA$3,0,0,COUNT(Table!$AA:$AA),1)
What I would like to do is to come up with an approach to this formula that would allow me to drag it across columns and have the year automatically increment (e.g., FY2013_TY, FY2014_TY, all of which are similarly defined Defined Names referring to adjacent columns). I have tried various approaches using INDIRECT along with CONCATENATE, but when it comes down to evaluating the formula, I consistently get a #REF! error.

I have an income statement with the cities on top (column header) and the expenses below it. There are 5 cities for example. The last line is net profit before it changes to the next city.
New York (column header)
Wages
Lights
Net Profit
Boston
Lights
Wages
Sales
Net Profit
How do you get the row reference for Boston Net Profit without using the offset or indirect function? (doing external linking with workbook closed) The formula would find Boston first and then look for the first net profit after Boston? The small if function may work for this.

The formula is =SUMPRODUCT((Group="A")*(Project_Description="Long Term")*(Profile="B")*(INDIRECT(B9)="x"))
B9 through M9 have header text Jan_2012, Feb_2012...Dec_2012. Basically my aim is to get the above formula working before I drag it across so that the named ranges get picked up automatically from the headers.
Jan_2012 thru Dec_2012 are dynamic named ranges using INDEX (and not OFFSET as someone mentioned OFFSET is a volatile function).
The above SUMPRODUCT formula is giving me a #REF! error for the (INDIRECT(B9)="x") part. I know that because when I replace it with (Jan_2012="x") it works fine.
I realized while writing this that it may be because the named range in Jan_2012 is not the same size as that of other arrays. [but it is the same size - I've re-confirmed just now]
