Using Indirect Function To Skip Columns From Different Worksheet
Feb 9, 2012
A post about skipping rows is very similar to my situation, but I'm stuck on how to translate that for columns. (Filling formulas but need to skip cells)
I'd like to transfer information from a worksheet called "Raw Data" to another sheet, skipping every 5th column. I'd like to go from "Raw Data" B12 to a new sheet C6, then from "Raw Data" G12 to D6 in the new sheet, and so forth.
I figured out that I'll need to use COLUMN()*5-13 as a component of the function, but I can't seem to figure out how to format the name of the worksheet correctly, with the ampersand and quotation marks.
This doesn't work at all, but I think it's in the ballpark...
=INDIRECT("Raw Data!"(COLUMN()*5)-13)&12)

I am working on a =transpose function. Pretty simple right? Well now I am trying to have it SKIP/SELECT certain columns.
I have =transpose("date!B1:T1"), but now I want to "Select A,B,D,E,F"
=TRANSPOSE(INDIRECT("date!B1:T1"),"select A,B,D,E,F,G,H,P,Q,R,S,T")

I 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
=INDIRECT(I$1&"!YADDA")
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?

I am familiar with the use of the INDIRECT function to retrieve data from different sheets in a workbook. However, is there a simple way of obtaining a list of all sheet names in a workbook (I have about 50) rather than typing them into the sheet individually?
I can see them in the workbook properties but can't copy and paste them.

determining the correct formula to lookup various details from multiple worksheet:
Data as follows:
Sheet1: input
AB1MonthSales2AUG55003MAY4000
Sheet2: Data
AB1MonthSales2JAN20003FEB25004MAR30005APR35006MAY40007JUN45008JUL50009AUG550010SEP600011OCT650012NOV700013DEC7500
b2,b3 Formula = Indirect(Address(match(a2,????,0),1,1,1,"Data"))
i dont know what is the correct range inside the match fuction to identiy the row number inside the Data sheet, i think the solution would be match(a2,Data!a2:a13,0) but things might get complicated if you have multiple worksheet such as sheet2: Data , sheet3: Data2, sheet3: Data 3
and each table has unsorted details compared to others sheets (Data vs Data 2)

How do you make the Autofill function increment in blocks, e.g. instead of increment 1,2,3 increment 1,8,15 inthe following example: I have a 2 worksheets, one with days of the year across columns and values down rows, and another that summarises the sum of the corresponding days in weeks, so I have 365 columns in sheet 1 and 52 columns in sheet2. Everytime I update the sum range i cannot autofill it in the summary worksheet, as A1:G1 autofills to B1:H1, but I want it to increment to H1:N1.

I need to add something to my macro to delete a sheet if it doesn't have more than 40 rows of data. If it has more than that, it needs to do a whole bunch of stuff to it. I've already got the whole bunch of stuff written, I'm just not sure how to do the if function. I took a stab at it, but it wants the count to be an object. I am not very good at writing code.
Code:
Dim count As Integer
Set count = "COUNT('33M & 33RUL'!A:A)"

I use the formula below to sum hours in a spreadsheet:
=((((SUM(B6:AP6)+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"x")*12.5))+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"d")*12.5))+(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"m")*12.5)) +(COUNTIF(B6:AP6,"e")*6))
I would like to be able to change the range from "B6:AP6" to something which will start with B6 but only count every 6th cell up to AP 6. I could probably place a symbol at the top of each column I wish to count if needed. If I try to simply choose every sixth cell I get an error about too many arguments for the countif function The above formula is used to add hours for various shifts (symbolized by letters). For my current need I do not need the multiplier i just need to count how many of each letter appear in every sixth cell of a row.
This may be too fancy but if one formula would work to count every 6th cell starting with B6 and give me a sum , then automatically do the same starting with B7 and count every 6th cell etc...that would be great. I am trying to sum the number of each occurrences of each shift at each of 6 locations.

I 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))

I have 2 sheets in my excel document. The first sheet (sheet1) has student data (grade they got on a test) from C5:C35 all in 1 column. On the 'second' sheet (sheet3), I have made a profile for each student (there are 30 of them, spread out 1 per printable page). I want to take Sheet1!C5 result and put it in sheet3!D7. The formula in sheet3!D7 would just be =sheet1!C5. I want to 'drag' that formula to L7, then to T7 then to AB7 etc etc (they are all 8 columns apart), obviously not affecting any of the cells between them.
There are 12 pieces of data in sheet1 that I want to auto update in sheet3, for 30 students, so copy pasting, and adjusting the formula would take a long time.

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 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).

Always have problems getting my head round the syntax of the indirect function and am unable to find anything similar that's been asked.
I want to perform an operation on two numbers where the user selects which to use (add, subtract, multiply or divide) entered into another cell like this:

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.

I have below a code that is selecting from A11 down as far as there is data and across a certain number of columns then sets a print area.
Currently the columns go A, B, JW, JX, JY, JZ, KA, KB as C through to JV are hidden. I have tried to offset the columns by 7 to see if it will select A-KB but it is selecting cells that are hidden and only selecting A-G. I need it to go past the hidden columns. Here is the code:
[Code] ......
Could I also get a code to go from A10 and move over to KB and create a range from there e.g. KB-KJ and last row from there?

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.
using Indirect function in vlookup should give corresponding value for the particular name. Formula used is giving error,
[VLOOKUP(A2,Indirect(" ' "&E1&" ' !$A$2:$X$1000),6,FALSE)]

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.

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 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 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 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).
