I've created a dynamic range formula which shows as below:
Excel Formula:
=CONCATENATE("AC SalesRawData!",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,C1,4),"1",""),":",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,C2,4),"1",""))

Which gives me the range output "AC SalesRawData!CQ:DS"
I'm then referencing this range in an vlookup using Indirect as shown below:
Excel Formula:
=VLOOKUP($A7,INDIRECT(C$3),'AC Sales Conversion'!C$4,FALSE)

The issue being, there are thousands of this formula pulling individual pieces of data. I don't want this to recalculate all the time as it keeps kicking errors or returning #REF!.
Is there a way to replace the indirect function but get the same result?
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
What is the reason you're using INDIRECT currently? Can you post some mockup data?
