In this video we’ll learn how to use another interesting Excel function indirect in addition. We’ll see how it can be applied in combination with vlookup. Previously we’ve said it is common practice to use cell references in formulas and indirect. If implemented properly it can be helpful when working with cell references.

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? Because c6 is not a text string and hence the function can’t provide a result look at how the result changes if I place C 6 within inverted commas
