Index, Indirect, Match, Large

[ChidgeyP]

Afternoon All,

Wondering if I could get a little help.

I'm trying to create a "Top 10" list of Outstanding Invoices, by Value. I have 12 Tabs (one per month) which have the data for the Monthly Invoices on.

I've tried the following :

=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&Q1&"'!B:B"),MATCH(LARGE(INDIRECT("'"&Q1&"'!P:P"),1),(INDIRECT("'"&Q1&"'!P:P",0))))

Which is pulling a #REF! Error.

Basically, B:B is my list of Invoice Numbers, P:P is the Value of the Invoice. Q1 has my Month's name in it. Changing the Formula from an Indirect to just refer to the named tab (January/February/etc.) it works just fine, but as soon as I change it to an Indirect, the error occurs. I was using the Indirect so I can use a Data Validation to flick between the Month's easily.

Am I missing something or have I just overly complicated this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post some sample data of one of your month sheets & the output sheet.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
