I'm looking for help setting up a formula that will change with manager names from the helper page. The formula need to work when there is More or less managers ie. some months we will have 4 managers and others we will only have 2 managers.

I have tried using =INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) that will pull the tab Helper!D2 to get names and that works but I don't know how to make the formula that will work with more or less managers so that I don't have to change 100s of formulas every month.

Sorry, I don't understand your setup. Are you saying that the "helper page" contains the complete list of managers, and that the table will not necessarily include all the managers?

I also don't understand what your formula is trying to do. What results are you trying to determine, and can you give us some examples?

My Helper page has a list of manager names that change from month to month. I get a new Table every month and sometimes the names and number of managers change. 1 month I could have 3 Managers and the other month I could have 4 managers.
[TABLE="class: cms_table_grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Manager Names
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Manager One
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Manager Two
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Manager Three
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Manager Four
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

The Formula is pulling info from the table basted on the Manager Names:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(INDIRECT(H$3 & "[Manager Name]")="Manager One)--(INDIRECT(H$3 & "[Manager Name]")="Manager Two")--(INDIRECT(H$3 & "[Manager Name]")="Manager Three")
=SUMPRODUCT(Apr_2017[Manager Name]="Manager One",Apr_2017[Manager Name]="Manager Two",Apr_2017[Manager Name]="Manager Three")

I want to first count Managers names then I want to get a count from the table that will give me a count of customers that belong to a manager that have a LTR Score of<=7.
Manager Apr_2019[LTR Score]")<=7.

I hope this helps.

Example:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager One")--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager Two")--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager Three"))

New month, new data has 1 more manager in it. Now I need to changed 100 + formulas.

New formula to add new manager.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager One")--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager Two")--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager Three")--(INDIRECT(C3&"[Manager Name]")="Manager Four"))


I'm looking for a we to use a formula that will pull the names of the managers from the helper pager no mater if there is 3 or 5 managers in it.

I have tried using =INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) to get the name of the Tab and the cell but it will not work with blank fields. If I do 4 sumproduct will not work I get a error.

=INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) =Helper!G18 = Manager One

=INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) =Helper!G18 = Manager Two

=INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) =Helper!G18 = Manager Three

=INDIRECT("'" & G16 & "'!" & G18) =Helper!G18 = Blank Field.

Thanks for your Help but I get a new set of Data every month that I put in a table. All the fields are the same and the rows are over 5K to 6k each month.

I have everything setup so that all anyone needs to do it is add the new month except this.
