    INDIRECT ADDRESS #REF error

    I have a spreadsheet where the beginning of the range can be in a different column each time. With the varying location, I thought INDIRECT, though volatile, would provide a solution, but the output is a #REF.

    High level, I am looking to obtain every instance of Plan Name in row 4 (Apple, Banana, Kiwi) if the category row 3 = "Fruit". However, I want the range for the formula to begin where the word "Renewal" is located in row 1 (column H), which can be in a different location each time.

    The formula that solves for find each instance:

    The end of the index range will always be in the same spot ending in L4.

    Open to any and all suggestions as I am baffled.

    I haven't looked in your workbook. But whenever you have sheet name that has space in it. You need to nest it in single quotes.
    Ex: "'TY SBCs'!" instead of "TY SBCs!".

    The nesting in single quotes was the issue - thank you!
