Microsoft Excel 2021365 - Beginner to Advanced - The INDIRECT Function

The video tutorial introduces the INDIRECT function in Excel, explaining how it can be used to reference other cells indirectly. It starts with a basic example, demonstrating how INDIRECT can return a value from a referenced cell. The tutorial then progresses to a practical example involving sales data, showing how INDIRECT can be combined with the SUM function to dynamically update totals based on changing criteria. Finally, a more complex scenario is presented, using INDIRECT with R1C1 referencing to handle dynamic data updates as new columns are added. The tutorial covers key concepts like cell referencing, named ranges, and formula construction.
