Hi,
I have used filter to bring back one text name from a range =

Excel Formula:
     LET( fv, FILTER(Sheet1!$G$5:$G$10,Sheet1!$H$5:$H$10="Y"),fv)


I would like to feed this into 'Indirect' , but it does not seem to work? if I refer to the cell which the above is in this does.
so ;

Excel Formula:
=LET( fv, FILTER(Sheet1!$G$5:$G$10,Sheet1!$H$5:$H$10="Y"),INDIRECT(fv))

Does not work

but
Excel Formula:
NDIRECT(B3)  ,

does, where the Filter is in B3,

is there a way around this?

Richard.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Can you post sample data? Maybe you don't need indirect

I did not know I could attach a document? how do I do this,
also, not sure why I would not need indirect? for example ; I want to return the names range , the column of 2's,
names "AA".
