Im trying to change the fixed end point of an array to make it dynamic by replacing $D$613 with INDEX($P$2:$P$37,ROWS($A$2:C2)).

both INDEX functions return the correct value when input on there own but I get a "REF" error when I replace $D$613 with INDEX($P$2:$P$37,ROWS($A$2:C2))

before
=VLOOKUP("L3:",INDIRECT("ukdox2!"&INDEX($P$1:$P$37,ROWS($A$2:C2))&":$D$613"),2,0)



after
=VLOOKUP("L3:",INDIRECT("ukdox2!"&INDEX($P$1:$P$37,ROWS($A$2:C2)):&INDEX($P$2:$P$37,ROWS($A$2:C2))),2,0)
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I think that the error is caused by the colon not being within quotes and concatenated. Instead of :& between the two index statements, should it be &":"&
