    Question Trying to figure out indirect with >symbol...

    Hello All - new user here....

    I am struggling to get the syntax correct for an INDIRECT formula referring to a combination of ">" symbol and a cell reference. An example is as follows:

    =SUMIFS(A2:A10,B2:B10,INDIRECT(>C2))

    Cannot get the sequencing of ", ' and & right....anyone out there who can easily let me know how its done?

    With thanks

    Then all you should need is this:

    =SUMIFS(A2:A10,B2:B10,">C2")

    =SUMIFS(A2:A10,B2:B10,">C2")
    Typo:

    =SUMIFS(A2:A10, B2:B10, ">" & C2)

    INDIRECT() is used when you need to reference/use text in a formula, in a situation where text would normally not be accepted
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    You don't need INDIRECT unless you are referencing something indirectly. Here you are making a direct reference to a number in a cell.

    You're welcome!
