Default LABKHAND: Problem using INDIRECT function.

Hi All,

I have the following formula in cell A1:
=NETWORKDAYS($CK3,$CK3+14,FY09_Holidays) which works fine.

I am trying to change this formula so that I can use a target cell's value
(e.g., DA2) to replace the "FY09_Holidays" string in the above networkdays
formula. So if cell DA2 has the value of FY09_Holidays, then I tried using
the INDIRECT function in cell A1 this way:

=NETWORKDAYS($CK3,$CK3+14,INDIRECT("DA2")).

This gives me a value error! Some sort of wrong data type error!

I also tried removing the quotes around DA2, but it still did not work.

If this function works, my code will be very flexible for the following
years since I can just change the value of DA2 cell to "FY10_Holidays"
without a need to change the cell formulas which use the networkdays function
all over my workbook.

I appreciate your help.
