Please follow this lecture carefully to understand how indirect functions. It can be tricky but don't worry, we are here for you! Indirect returns the reference indicated by a text string so the input we should have in the brackets must be a text string. What do I mean by that I suppose was interested in the precise number of staff employees working in a company and I wanted to obtain that number by using indirect in other words. I am interested in the number written in cell c6. Right, let's see what happens if I select cell c6 as the input of the function Excel displays an error message. Why?
