How do I use INDIRECT inside an Excel array formula?



The following formula returns all the correct references to hours booked on "Foo", so far so good.



=IF(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18="Foo";ADDRESS(ROW(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18);COLUMN(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18)+1;;;"Planning"))


"Planning!$E$11"FALSEFALSEFALSEFALSE"Planning!$J$12"



However, if I use the INDIRECT function to retrieve the values of those references, they always return the value of the first reference in the array ("Planning!$E$11")



=IF(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18="Foo";INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18);COLUMN(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18)+1;;;"Planning")))


8FALSEFALSEFALSEFALSE8



How do I retrieve the correct values? Or should I tackle the problem in a whole different way?





I'm not sure indirect is what you want to use. Difficult to say though, do you have an example (screenshot or something similar) of the data and expected outcome?

The way you are using indirect currently, is finding the value of the first cell in your reference range (e11 being one column to the left of d11).

Thanks. I added the screenshots. By the way, wrapping the INDIRECT around the array is not a solution either: all FALSE Booleans are converted to #REF!, which renders the array unusable for SMALL.

Due to the format of the data, it would not be possible to generate the overview you are aiming to, however, you can use formulas to generate a consolidation table then use a PivotTable to generate the desired summary.

Since I was mainly interested in the total of planned hours, I eventually used the following formula:



=SUM(SUM(INDIRECT(IF(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18="Foo";(ADDRESS(ROW(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18);COLUMN(Planning!$D$11:$CV$18)+1;;;"Planning"));"$U$19"))))

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
