I have a question. what to do if I need to use substitute twice.
here is my formula and I still get #REF!
=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(A147," ","_")) INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(B146," ","_"))
Thank you,
K

#REF! just means that the reference that the INDIRECT is creating is not a true reference. You need to look closely at the Excel Defined Name and see what character you are missing.

My ref problem is that i have more than one thing i need to substitute. I can't figure out how to substitute them both when i try it either comes up with Error or VALUE so im not quite sure what Im doing wrong.
=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(Y9,")","_")) INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(Z8,"(","_"))
thats my formula so far but I also want to substiture "(" in Y9 to nothing and ")" in Z8 to nothing too.
Is this possible?
