Hi i am working on on a training matrix at work, there are 8 members of staff with a tab named after them.

There are 58 odd tasks they need training on and have a measurement of out of 5 on the progress, if there progress is 3 or blow they still need training on that task.

i have made a training page that automatically updates with the tasks they still need training on - Formula is

=IFERROR(INDEX('Bobby Bland'!$B$1:$B$58,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW('Bobby Bland'!$C$1:$C$58)/('Bobby Bland'!$C$1:$C$58<3),ROW(5:5))),"")

on the training page i just want to use a drop down menu in B4 where i can select any of the 8 members of staff, then the tasks update on that page with that members of staff training tasks.

Ive used indirect in the past to reference tab names based on a cell

Ive tried using indirect in the above formula but cant get it to work, formula

=IFERROR(INDEX("'"&$B$4&"'!"&"$B$1:$B$58",AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW("'"&$B$4&"'!"&"$C$1:$C$58)/("'"&$B$4&"'!"&"$C$1:$C$58<3),ROW(5:5))),"")

Hope that all makes sence

praying someone can help :-)
 
@Special-K99
=INDIRECT(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(4;COLUMN()-5))&"!G1")
in column c
in this case 2 x indirect required

Right?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
