indirect function within sumif to reference other sheets
Hi everyone,
I have a workbook with many sheets, most of them being financial information, ie last year actual / budget, this year actual/budget etc. I then have a sheet which I am making a report on to summarise all of the other information. Each line is a sumif of all the relevant cost / income types. Ie office expenses would be a sumif on all the expense classified as office expenses. What i want (need) to do is have a drop down box where users can select the data they want the report to be populated with. Ie they can select last years budget numbers and all the sum if formulae will be calculated off last years budget sheet. I think the way to do this is with the indirect formula within the sum if, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. Normally I would just have =sumif(bud0506!$g$g,sheet1$a$1,bud0506!$i$i) so I want the sheet to be dynamic, so i have a drop down menu linked to cell a2, so cell a2 would have bud0506 in it, so i then would have =sumif(indirect($a$2&$g$g),sheet1$a$1,indirect($a$ 2&$i$i) But I just can't seem to get the syntax correct, any help would be greatly appreciated. |
indirect function within sumif to reference other sheets
=SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&$a$2&"'!G:G"),Sheet1!$A$1,INDI RECT("'"&$a$2&"'!I:I"))

Thanks Bob that works - although you have to pay very close attention
to the syntax - the " ' " stuff is really easy to get wrong I found. |

I know, that's why I did.
