Hi Folks - Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.

I need to use the indirect function to help me reference a cell on another worksheet - I cannot see the error that is being triggered - see below. Any help appreciated. Thanks - Mark.

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Is the other workbook open?

Hi Fluff,

Hope all good with you.

No - the other workbook is not open. It pulls it in fine with the cell reference to the other worksheet, but when I use the Indirect function, I get that error?

The Indirect function only works with open workbooks. So you either need to open the workbook, or get rid of the indirect.
