I 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.
In 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))))
I 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedBecause 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")))
rate2008
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.
when using the following forula as below; =INDIRECT(INDEX($B$37:$B$62,$B$3)&"!"&ADDRESS(ROW(D6),COLUMN(D6))). centain cells come up with #REF! and or #VALUE!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just need to find the MIN of P6 to Px. Where x is a number that is from another sheet. (Lets say B3)
I thought this would be it, but its still not working, gives me #REF! error
=MIN(INDIRECT("P6:"& '[filename.xls]Sheet 1'!$B$3))
My indirect formula doesn't work when I have the entire path defined. I have the entire filepath specified (which will never change), and then I have cell A6 with the tab name of the worksheet on the workbook
.
Workbook 1 named 'Testme' contains the table with range a2:b5
Worbook 2 contains the formula
I put this formula into workbook2 (the tab in the example is named hitab & I put that name in cell B6)
Here is what I have:Does not work even when other workbook is open
=VLOOKUP(B6,INDIRECT("'H:CUSTOMERSCurrentClientAMRO and General SuppliesBearings, Motors, PTsSavings Tracking[Testme.xls]"&A6&"'!a2:b5"),2,FALSE)
This DOES work when workbook is open, but not when it is closed (which would seem logical if when the workbook is closed, the formula needs the exact path)
=VLOOKUP(B5,INDIRECT("[Testme.xls]"&A6&"!$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.
I have some vba code that is used to hide any rows with the cell value of "Finished". The code is below. When I run this code I get a run time error 424 - Object Required. Can you please explain or help as to why I am getting this?
As a side point the data is loaded from an oracle database rather than from the sheet but every other function/code works fine.
I totally understand how to make the combobox under form controls now but I am not having any success with the indirect function I was using as a list now that I have a combo box. I have attached the current form I am working on that just shows the list function still. How to convert this over to combo boxes with the indirect function?
I attached a second form with the feature I am asking about. It is just lacking the third list that I now have in place. (on the 1st attachment).

I have some data on a sheet and I want it on other sheet without using lookup function. Only "Indirect function need to be used". find attached the excel sheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having issues using the INDIRECT function to lookup data from a sheet with the same name as that appearing in a given cell. For example, in cell D27 i have the text "S1_358_810" (Not including quotations). I also have a sheet named "S1_358_810". My formula is as follows;
Formula:
[Code] .....
However this is returning #N/A. There is a list of numbers in sheet S1_358_810 in column N and from that I want the value in column Q (thus 17).
I have the following formula, which works; however I need to make it dynamic.

I am using an area of 43 Rows by ~ 150 Columns to display the results of an advancedfilter process. I have a trigger on row 44 for each column (which is either 1 or 0, depending on if any of the rows in the column were filled with data. If any column is completely empty I would like to hide it. I am getting an error if the majority of the ~ 150 columns are empty and should be hidden. Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of columns that can be hidden each time a macro is run?
My piece of code to accomplish this is as follows:
For i = 4 To 150
If Worksheets("RegMatrix"). Cells(44, i) = 1 Then
Worksheets("RegMatrix").Columns(i).AutoFit
Else
Worksheets("RegMatrix").Columns(i).ColumnWidth = 1
Worksheets("RegMatrix").Columns(i).Hidden = True
On Error Resume Next
End If
Next
Right now, once i gets to about 100 the rest of the columns are not hidden.
I am trying to hide four columns on my worksheet, but for some strange reason I am getting the following message:
"Run Time Error 1004
Unable to Set The Hidden Property of the Range Class"
I have no merged cells or objects in those columns. Has anyone else suffered this problem?
how to use the indirect function to pull data from a pivot table. This is the formula I am trying to recreate: =GETPIVOTDATA("sum of BOE",$A$14,"CLASS","PROVED","Years",2013)
I can't seem to get the indirect function to work properly with the words in double quotes, such as "PROVED". How do I format that part of the formula properly?
This is as far as I can get. =GETPIVOTDATA("sum of BOE",INDIRECT($M13),"CLASS","PROVED","Years",$N13) $M13 refers to $A$14 and $N13 refers to 2013
I have two workbook, test1 (master file) and the other one is test_10_05_2014 with 100 some of them being updated daily. The last portion of the file "test_10_05_2014" is the date and we have different file on daily basis.

I am building an attendance spreadsheet and trying to copy and paste all of the names from Sheet 1 to Sheet 6 for a different purpose. Thing is I need the names to match so I'm not having to copy and paste every time my data changes.
My problem was that when I insert a row into sheet 1, sheet 6 accommodates and then I'm missing data and have to insert a new line manually.
At first I tried using absolutes ($) to fix the problem, but that's a different ballgame.
I've discovered INDIRECT and so now use this formula: =INDIRECT("'DIRECTORY 2014'!B5"). It works.
But I have almost 300 entries. Is there a way to expedite the process without having to change each entry? I don't want to have to retype the function on every cell.
I have a series of menus in column C. I need column D to be able to access them and return the proper data.

My sheets are all categorized by date, and I want to be sum individual cells on each worksheet on one final summary worksheet. For example, if cell A1 on each sheet was units sold and I wanted to see how many total units were sold between Jan-04-08 and Jan-16-08 my formula on the summary sheet would be:
=SUM('Jan-04-08:Jan-16-08'!A1)
But I want to be able to easily modify what dates my summary sheet shows so I tried using the function:
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&N14&":"&N15&"'!A1"))
where N14 was the starting sheet and N15 was the ending sheet. It keeps giving me #REF! however and I can't figure out why and don't know if this is something I can fix.
i know it is possible for a selection in a drop down box to determine another field using the INDIRECT function in validation
eg - 1st drop down box - Football, Rugby, Cricket
2nd drop down box (if chosen football) - displays list of football teams
2nd drop down box (if chosen rugby) - displays list of rugbyteams
2nd drop down box (if chosen cricket) - displays list of cricket teams
but is it possible for the 1st drop down box to determine what is available in a range of other drop downs?
eg - 1st drop down box - Football, Rugby, Cricket
2nd drop down box (if chosen football) - displays list of football teams
3rd drop down box (if chosen Man Utd) - displays list of Man Utd players
I have a sheet that has consecutive dates in column A, from newest to oldest. I column B I have some stock returns. In column C I have some other stock returns. In D1, I want the covariance of the 2 stocks over the past x days (i.e. covar(B1:Bx,C1:Cx)). In D2, I want the covariance over x days as well, but only up to the date in A2 (so, covar(B2:B(x+1),C2:C(x+1))).
I tried this, but it doesnt work:
I am working on a spreadsheet which contains a number of reference data sheets (named “Reference data 2009”, “Reference data 2010” etc). As their names suggest, these sheets contain reference data applicable to the particular year. This reference data is used to perform various calculations in a “Calculations” sheet.
On the “Calculations” sheet, the user specifies the year for which they wish to perform calculations. At present, I am using the volatile INDIRECT function to perform various HLOOKUP calculations along the following lines:
=IF(D15>=HLOOKUP('Detailed net pay calculations'!D16, INDIRECT("'Reference data" & 'Detailed method'!$C$2 & 'Detailed net pay calculations'!D1 & "'!$B$43:$Y$52"), 4, FALSE), “Do something”, “Do something else”)
The reason I'm using the INDIRECT function is to identify the sheet with the appropriate year (hence "Reference data"&'Detailed method'!$C$2&'Detailed net pay calculations'!D1 which could be interpreted by Excel as "'Reference data 2009NEW" or "'Reference data 2010", depending on whether there's text in cell D1).
My query
The function I'm using is working perfectly fine but I am wondering if it is possible to replace the INDIRECT function (in red) with INDEX or another non-volatile function in order to reduce the performance impact (I have a fairly large number of these types of functions).
I simply want to use the indirect function in vlookup formula in cell B2 (sheet11) is the sheet name I want to use for the lookup table.
=vlookup(B1,'[Alan.xls]sheet11'!$A$5:$F$19,4,0)
=vlookup(B1,'[Alan.xls]indirect("&B2&")"'!"$A$5:$F$19,4,0)
But doesn't work.
I would like to create a UDF that incorporates the Indirect Function. So if this is possible, I'd like to put in any cell..... =Tev(A2,D6)...... "Tev" would replace the Indirect function in the UDF script. In cell A2 would be the name of the sheet that I want to pull from. And Cell D6 would be the cell from the other sheet that I'd like returned.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with a name that inckudes a hyphen, e.g. 1234-5678.
And I have the worksheet name in a cell, say, I!.
Using

I get a REF error because of the inclusion of the hyphen in the worksheet name.
How can I fix this without eliminating the hyphen?
Cell F4 contains a worksheet name which was “calculated” by an IF function (IF something, then ‘T2’, otherwise ‘T3’).
Cell F5 must then look at either sheet T2 or sheet T3 (depending on what it is told to do by reference to cell F4 just above) and report what it finds in cell A1 there.
Clearly I must use the INDIRECT function. But I have tried every imaginable combination of single and double quotation marks to produce the equivalent of
=T2!A1
all to no avail.
Is it something to do with letter and number combinations?
Alternatively, how else should I achieve what I want?
PS F4 could have been “calculated” by any other means, e.g. =MONTH(TODAY()).
I'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.
