<h1>INDIRECT Function</h1>
<p>The <b>INDIRECT</b> function is one of the lookup and reference functions. It is used to return the reference to a cell based on its string representation.</p>
<p>The <b>INDIRECT</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>INDIRECT(ref-text [, A1-ref-style-flag])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>ref-text</em></b> is a text representation of a cell.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>A1-ref-style-flag</em></b> is a representation style. It is an optional logical value: TRUE or FALSE. If it is set to TRUE or omitted, the function will analyse <b><em>ref-text</em></b> as an A1-style reference. If FALSE, the function will interpret <b><em>ref-text</em></b> as an R1C1-style reference.</p>
<p>To apply the <b>INDIRECT</b> function,</p>
<ol>
<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
<li>click the <b>Insert Function</b> <img alt="Insert Function icon" src="../images/insertfunction.png" /> icon situated at the top toolbar,
<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
<br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
</li>
<li>select the <b>Lookup and Reference</b> function group from the list,</li>
<li>click the <b>INDIRECT</b> function,</li>
<li>enter the required arguments separating them by comma,</li>
<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
