    Using INDEX/MATCH with indirect

    Ok,
    I have two workbooks. For this example we will call one workbook data.xls and the other is results.xls. The data.xls has 13 tabs (one for each month and total tab YTD). I want to use results to pull data from certain spots on data.xls.

    Clear as mud yet?


    I attached sample results on this thread.

    I want to use a formula to pull data from the table based on index/match but want to use indirect. Here is my index function:


    =INDEX([data.xls]Jun!$B$2:$D$4, MATCH(A2,[data.xls]Jun!$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH(A1,[data.xls]Jun!$B$1:$D$1,0))

    Now, I do not want data.xls AND/OR Jun to be static. I want to use something like this:

    =INDEX(["&A3&".xls]Jun!$B$2:$D$4, MATCH(A2,["&A3&".xls]Jun!$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH(A1,["&A3&".xls]Jun!$B$1:$D$1,0))

    OR

    =INDEX([data.xls]"&A$&"!$B$2:$D$4, MATCH(A2,[data.xls]"&A4&"!$A$2:$A$4,0),MATCH(A1,[data.xls]"A4&"!$B$1:$D$1,0))

    SO my question is how do I use an indirect within my index/match???

    I DO NOT want to use an indirect function that uses name ranges. I would need to name ranges constantly and would take away from my "automation" of this data entry spreadsheet. Anyone got any ideas? I will use an INDIRECT if I knew how to use indirect/match to find ranges of cells vs defined names...?

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!
