I have a workbook with many tabs. One set of tabs are years, 2020, 2021, etc. Then I also have tabs for each month of the years so Mar 2021, Apr 2021, etc.

I am trying to create a lookup where a formula will look up the correct month tab, in this case Mar 2021. Here is my formula and where I am:

=-IFERROR((IFERROR(VLOOKUP($C64,INDIRECT(M$62&"!$C$5:$T$50000"),MATCH(M$61,INDIRECT(M$62&"!$C$4:$T$4"),0),0),0)),"")

Some details: in my current sheet, M61 is the month "Mar" and M62 is the Year "2021". I need my formula to lookup C64 from my current sheet to the Mar 2021 tab and match the month found in cell M61 to row 4 of the Mar 2021 tab.

My formula is pulling in the amounts from just the "2021" tab and not the Mar 2021 tab like I am trying to do. Everything is pulling correctly, it is just pulling from the wrong sheet. How can I tweak this to get it to pull from Mar 2021 tab instead of just 2021?
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
This part of your formula is telling VLOOKUP to look only at the 2021 sheet.
Excel Formula:
INDIRECT(M$62&"!$C$5:$T$50000")
If you want this to refer to the Month-Year tab, then:
Excel Formula:
INDIRECT("'"&M$61&" "&M$62&"'!$C$5:$T$50000")
Note the character nested between those double quotes is a single quote " ' " without the spaces...and the 2nd occurrence is " ' ! again without spaces.
That forms the string 'Mar 2021'!$C$5:$T$50000. Your other INDIRECT formula may need attention too.

This is perfect. Thanks so much.
