This is the best explanation of the INDIRECT function I have seen. Thank you!
Thank you very much. Your comment is much appreciated.
Been searching for some time to find a solution to shorten my otherwise would-be long formula and this (last part) was just what I needed!
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience, it's much appreciated!
Thank you for stepping through the Indirect formula. I've seen it a dozen times on as many sites, but I have not seen one explanation of each component of the formula. Much appreciated! Thank you!
You're very welcome 👍
An analyst at work used this a few years back for a spreadsheet I use daily, I always wondered over it, now finally taking the time to understand it. Thank you for this vid!!!
My pleasure Cipher-Tu Productions.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much.
You have no idea how useful this is to me in my daily work.
Thank you ever so much.
Kindly continue to contribute such excellent tutorials with excellent examples.
God Bless You.
Thanks Biju, your welcome.
Thanks for the feedback. I did try to use "R10C4" and it works but only for that column and not for the next/expanding columns.
So ur right it does make sense to use COUNTA. Thanks again.
Thank you, Computergaga. Very much appreciated. This Excel world is just becoming very exciting; courtesy persons like you.
Welcome. There is no getting off the Excel world. It rotates too fast. You are here to stay 😂
Thank you for an effective lesson on the INDIRECT function!
You're welcome K, thank you.
This is great! I had to populate data from several other tabs in a different file. You just made me look like a genius at work!
That is great Jason. You are a genius :)
I don't often leave comments but this was so well done that I felt compelled. Kudos for clear concise explanations but my favorite part was the multiple examples that demonstrate real world challenges and the slightly different approaches you might need to take to solve them. Take a bow sir!
Thank you very much for those lovely comments Scott.
Wow. I have struggled with this function in different forms and here you are making me an expert after watching this 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Excellent! Nice one Mike.
There must be a good reason why I easily understand what you explain than many other people who offer different tutorials. The reason is simply, you can explain things so well. THANKS INDEED.
You're very welcome. Thank you for your kind words Salim.
Great video. I've seen many explanations for INDIRECT() and this is by far the best, especially the one referring to other sheets with spaces in the sheet name. Thanks very much
You're very welcome Peter. Thank you.

Thank you Tomasz.
I had seen many videos on Indirect function and this actually is the best.Thank you
Excellent! Great to hear Arun. Thank you.
Thank you ! I've been sufferred from learning “INDIRECT" as it's not as clear logic as other fuctions. Watched around 3-4 videos still couldn't get until I watched your video. Now it's crystal clear and now I'm confident to use "INDIRECT" in work.
Great to hear! Thank you Penny.
An interesting demonstration, and very useful information. Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Well done - clearest examples yet I have seen on the 'INDIRECT' function. Many Thanks !!!
Thank you very much, Kirk.
Great examples Alan! This is the best demonstration of indirect function, so easy to understand, clear and how it can be used in so many ways which I hadn't known before. Now I know why indirect() is useful which I failed to gather from other channels. To add to the complexity of the last example, it would be great to show how to handle an office that consists of two words like Milton Keynes. :)
Thank you Lena. I have a video on solving this situation. You can find it here - th-cam.com/video/aidOWOsMdD8/w-d-xo.html

Was struggling to get this to work from the other videos I've watched, but the bit at 5:30 was exactly what I needed :D
Excellent! Very happy to have helped.
Hi Alan.. another excellent tutorial. I've never really done much with INDIRECT(). Like many people, I went along for many years thinking I knew EXCEL well. Your great videos show me all the things I've been missing. I'll definitely incorporate INDIRECT() into future projects, although I understand that as a volatile function, using INDIRECT() sparingly is advised. I particularly like its use for dependent drop downs.. very clever. Thanks for helping me build a more solid foundation of EXCEL skills which I can use in my business and life. Thumbs up!
Thank you Wayne. Yes it is a very helpful function.
Quite right in that it is a volatile function. So should be aware of such things when working with large workbooks as it can slow calculation speed.
Thanks Realy useful...
Great to hear. Thank you Praveen.
I was really not that versed in using =INDIRECT(function) and to be frank I was avoiding to use it. But after well expounded topic in this tutorial it makes a lot of sense what is used for and especially when it comes using it with named ranges. Thank you for explaining in minute detail and to the point for all of us. 👍
You're very welcome, Denin. Thank you for the comments.
