Hi All,

I have been working on a small invoice report. I have multiple sheets of invoices and to ease them up - I wanted to autofill whatever I type in the sheets to the INDEX page. I used the formula =VLOOKUP($B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$A$15:$C$15"),3,FALSE) function to match cells from other sheets to the INDEX page. So basically I have created different headings for Company, created by, date and amount. The company and created list works fine with the formula but when I try the date range and amount - it shows as a number. I tried using another VLOOKUP(INDIRECT ddmmyyyy method too - but it is not working.

The dates are filled in the sheets between the range G3:H3 and similarly for the amount it is J43:L43. Please suggest any help/ any different formulas which can help me out. I have nearly 50 sheets and it will be easy to auto-fill the INDEX page when I type in the individual sheets
 
Right, so your totals are in Column E - the 5th Column, Right?
Using your example I would expect the total you want to be in Row 15, Column E
If that is true, then your formula would be the same as above, but change the 3rd argument from 3 to 5 (i.e. Column 5 the column that has your total value)

Where is the total that you want to put onto another sheet?
Where is the total that you want to put onto another sheet?

If the total you want in cell E3 (not sure which sheet - you did not show that part of a sheet).
Then you should be able to use this following formula: = INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$L$59") (VLOOKUP is not needed)

Solution

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.

No problem. I was just difficult for me to know where data was coming from and where is needed to be.
So, if you update L59, then Cell E3 on your other sheet will automatically update.
Good luck with your project, glad I could help.
