    Hello…

    I have a summary tab in my workbook which looks like: (But formatted nicely )

    Plan # OP UC Unsubmitted In Process Approved Total Units
    Anita 16 3 3 1 0 1 8
    John 11 1 2 5 0 3 11
    Joe 14 0 4 9 1 2 16
    Carol 14 5 2 7 2 1 17
    Smith 13 7 1 0 0 0 8
    Taylor 10 4 2 1 0 1 8
    Jen 13 3 1 6 0 2 12
    Frank 19 19 1 4 0 0 24
    Lou 10 2 1 3 0 0 6
    Jessie 14 6 2 7 0 1 16

    Each of the names in column A is the same name as a sheet in the workbook. Currently I am using CountIF formulas to get the summary numbers EX: =COUNTIF(Anita!G:G,”UC”)

    Instead of having Anita in the formula I would like to have A3 (where Anita’s name is in the current summay sheet) If I just put in A3, I get a File Not Found.

    Can I do what I want to do?

      It is literally looking for a file named A3 not a reference to what is IN A3. You must use the INDIRECT function:

      =COUNTIF(indirect("'" & A3 & "'!G:G"),"UC")
