    Indirect Function Not working

    Hi all :-)

    I was fighting with indirect function, but not successfully :-((

    I have a simple workbook split into Monthly sheets per employee ( e.g. January February etc) and Whole Year 2016 ( called Yearly Plan).

    What I need is to use indirect value from "Yearly Plan sheet" into monthly sheets. Basically if any code example "Vacation" will be added into Yearly Plan for particular date, it will be visible in sheet for that Month and employee :-)

    I have some formulas, but is getting incorrect numbers I should see that results in columns, but is showing in rows, No idea why. For sure, there is some typo in there.

    Is there anybody, who would be able to help me with that?

    Thank you,
    Andy

    Try

    in I12

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Yearly Plan'!$B$11:$O$16,MATCH(January!I$11,'Yearly Plan'!$A$11:$A$16,0),MATCH(January!$B14,'Yearly Plan'!$B$10:$O$10,0)),"")

    in I!3

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Yearly Plan'!$B$11:$O$16,MATCH(January!I$11,'Yearly Plan'!$A$11:$A$16,0),MATCH(January!$B12,'Yearly Plan'!$B$10:$O$10,0)+1),"")

    Re: Indirect Function Not working

    Hi Andy,

    1) I can't see INDIRECT in your file at all

    2) columns and rows are obviously mismatched, so I12:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    I13 (it is different because of merged cells):
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    copy both right, and while both rows are selected - copy down

    Re: Indirect Function Not working

    See re-post for formula in I13.

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Yearly Plan'!$B$11:$O$16,MATCH(January!I$11,'Yearly Plan'!$A$11:$A$16,0),MATCH(January!$B12,'Yearly Plan'!$B$10:$O$10,0)+1),"")

    Then copy pairs of I12 and I13

    my error!
