I have a problem I'm just about to give up on. I've inherited a report from someone who's left the company and there's a bunch of circular reference errors in it (no one bothered checking). I can not for the life of me figure out what's causing it though. The cell above works with the exact same formula but a slightly different lookup value (somethingsomething 503 instead of somethingsomething 771). The cell formula is thus:

Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX((INDIRECT("'"&$D$10&"'!$a$15:$zz$1000")),MATCH($A94,(INDIRECT("'"&$D$10&"'!$a$15:$a$1000")),0),MATCH(J$11,(INDIRECT("'"&$D$10&"'!$a$15:$zz$15")),0)),"")

D10 is a text value from a dropdown, J11 basically refers back to D10. A94 is the somethingsomething 771. It basically finds itself and goes and finds a column based on the value in D10. I don't know if it's the format of A94, because as I said if I change it to 503 as the line above it, it works. Change it to anything else and it won't work.

Any help is much appreciated...
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
The sheet is called "Major Corporates", the cell is J94, and D10 has a choice of QTDA, YTDA, Budget and pYTD, so just column names in row 15.

I'll be darned, so it is! It refers to some hidden sheet which was missing the value. **** these people!

Thanks Steve. Much appreciated. I have loads of these errors to fix so it's hugely appreciated even.

Still getting a circular reference error though...
