Hi,

I am trying to replace a formula in a workbook to use the INDIRECT function to link to other worksheets in the same workbook

This is the formula I am wanting to replace:

=INDEX('Andrew'!$A$7:$R$18,$B$11,18)

This is what I have been trying to replace it with but it returns an error saying too many arguments

=INDIRECT("'"&B12&"'!A7:R18",B11,18)

If I remove the 18 at the end (that is column 18 on thesource worksheet), it does return a value, but of column 1.

Please can you help?

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
You still need your INDEX in there. The INDIRECT is just providing an indirect route to the range. It doesnt replace the index.

=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&B12&"'!A7:R18"),$B$11,18)
