I'm hoping someone can help me make better use of the INDIRECT formula.
I have a list of sheet names in a table and an INDIRECT formula that uses that list to return a value in a specified cell - the list of sheet names is just an easier way for me to drag the formula down the table and read the appropriate cells without having to manually link each sheet.
=INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!"&"K10")
This works fine for single cells as the range ref is simply stated as the text in the formula (K10), the problem arises when I need to start referring to a range such as K10:K15 and summing the values.
The range K10:K15 will inevitably have new rows added or deleted on the relative tab and as INDIRECT is using text as the reference it means the range doesn't automatically adjust - this is as I understand it one of the 'benefits' of INDIRECT but in this case is actually holding me back.
Also worth noting that the range (K10:K15) may move as rows are added/deleted above this, as this range is part of a larger table.
In simplistic terms I want to achieve the same result as a standard reference to a range on another sheet, e.g. =sum(sheet1!K10:K15) (as this will adjust when rows are added/deleted) but I just want to be able to dictate which sheet is referred to via a list I have in a table on a summary sheet.
How do I either write INDIRECT so the range adjusts when new rows are added/deleted or is there a different formula I should be using that achieves this?
Any advice greatly appreciated :)
