Hello, I've struggled with building a INDEX formula that would reference dynamic file names and tabs which I'm hoping that someone can help with.
I'm building a file that would consolidate hours entered into a schedule by a shop. Each week I would define which week from which I would pull the hours and use that value to look up the same named tab. Here are two example files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w97qm7rv6nffttb/AAD7M23do2rotEko8I6YBxfGa?dl=0 1 - planning: schedule used by shop 2 - consol: the file i'll use each week to consolidate the hours. I've attempted the INDEX formula using the dynamic INDIRECT variables but I keep getting a REF! error - [=INDEX((INDIRECT("'["&$B$2&"]"&$B$3&"'!"&"$A$64:$A$501")),M9,L9)&""]. See cell H9 in consol file. If I use a regular INDEX formula the value is returned correctly [=INDEX('[PLANNING.xlsb]43'!$A$64:$AX$501,M9,L9)] so there must be something wrong with what I've attempted. See cell H6 in consol file. What's odd is that my formula does work when it references other cells in the range so I looked at the cell and the only thing I can think of is that the cell with the error has conditional formatting? Would this trigger it? Thanks in advance for your help! Dza -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel? And do you wanna be? It’s =TIME(2,DO:IT,N:OW) !
