trying to write a formula in F7 and autofill the length of the sheet, using VLOOKUP with INDIRECT.

I have approximately 150 sheets (Summary Sheet Below) that have a value in C1 that I need copied to column F in the example below. Sheet names are in column A.

I tried a Vlookup(indirect(a7, blah blah), x, false) Always came away with a #REF error.

Any takers?

the indirect () part should be

INDIRECT(A7&"!C1")

Forgot to mention something important A1 of each sheet also contains the sheet name.

I tried vlookup(a7,indirect(A7&"!$A$1:$C$1",3,false))

Got #ref

Ugh!

vlookup(a7,indirect(A1&"!$A$1:$C$1",3,false))

Seems pretty simple but the information you provided isn't complete

What exactly is your lookup value?

What exactly is the range you want to look up

Just make a vlookup withOUT the indirect 1st and post that

Or provide us with a larger sample of your data...
