Hi,

I am wanting to index multiple worksheets, match to data in a cell and return the required information.

The following formula works for a static name of the spreadsheet I am indexing, 'Gillig'
=IF(ISNA(INDEX(Gillig!B:B,MATCH(SCHEMWS!H12,Gillig!C:C,0))),"",INDEX(Gillig!B:B,MATCH(SCHEMWS!H12,Gillig!C:C,0)))

What I want, is to be able to enter the name of another worksheet, in a cell, and have the formula return the information. I am struggling with this attempt
=IF(ISNA(INDEX(INDIRECT("H4"),MATCH(SCHEMWS!H12,INDIRECT("H4")*C:C,0))),"",INDEX(INDIRECT("H4"),MATCH(SCHEMWS!H12,INDIRECT("H4")*C:C,0)))

H4 contains the worksheet name. Any ideas and or, do I need to provide more information.

Thanks

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Welcome to the MrExcel Board!

Try:

=IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&H4&"'!B:B"),MATCH(SCHEMWS!H12,INDIRECT("'"&H4&"'!C:C"),0)),"")
