Default Indirect and matching formula isn't working

Hello

Cells(2, "k") =
"=IF($b$2:$b$8000="""","""",(INDEX(Personnel!$B$1: $B$1000,MATCH($b$2:$b$8000,Personnel!$A$1:$A$1000, 0))))"
---This is the formula I am using today and it works fine to do matching.

However, I wanted to be able to replace the 8000 in that formula with an
actual row count that I am obtaining and placing in a field called BR.

Someone suggested I use the INDIRECT function and I just can't get it to
work. I have tried everything...adding the WorksheetFunction...placing double
quotes...placing an ISERROR.

I have gotton everything from syntax error to Run time error
1004....Application-defined or object defined error trying to use this
INDIRECT.......
Cells(2, "k") = "=IF(ISERROR(WorksheetFunction.INDIRECT(""$b$2:$b$ "" &
S1))="""","""",(INDEX(Personnel!$B$1:$B$1000,MATCH (WorksheetFunction.INDIRECT(""$b$2:$b$"" & S1)),Personnel!$A$1:$A$1000,0))))"

All I want to do is take this following formula that works and replace the
8000 in that formula with an actual row count that I am obtaining and placing
in a field called BR.
Cells(2, "k") =
"=IF($b$2:$b$8000="""","""",(INDEX(Personnel!$B$1: $B$1000,MATCH($b$2:$b$8000,Personnel!$A$1:$A$1000, 0))))"

Is there something that can do this besides the INDIRECT or can someone help
setup the formula with the INDIRECT so it works?
