Okay, I've put up two screenshots.

the first contains the formula and what is listed in C1. The next is the names of the individual sheets.

Still doesn't work.  Back to the drawing board.

Exactly what does your current formula look like and what error message do
you get? Still 501?

Sorry, that e-mail got sent off too quickly. I'm trying this formula

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,3,1,,"Bonuses")).$E$1:$E2000,A2)

C1 contains the name of the worksheet ("09-27-13") and I'm trying to
use
it.  However, it keeps giving me an err:501.

Hint 1:
Use the builtin help and search for 501. It will take you to the error
codes. 501 means something like ”invalid character”. In this case it
seems
like you use ”,” instead of ”;” as parameter separators. I thought that
there was a setting for that somewhere, but now I can't find it, so I
guess
that is a LibreOffice feature, but I'm not sure. I used LibreOffice for
a
couple of years but I am back with Apache OpenOffice again, since
LibreOffice was way too unstable for me. It actually destroyed one of my spreadsheets but Apache OpenOffice fixed it for me, that's why I'm back…
:D

Anyway, replace those commas with semi-colons and I think it will work.

Hint 2:
If you are working with a big formula and it doesn't work, hit Ctrl+F2
(select the cell that you are working with first) and you are able to
study
your formula a little better. For instance you can see sub values by
placing the cursor on different places in the formula. That way it's a
little easier to find WHERE the error is.

So I guess I'm doing something wrong here.

=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,3,1,,"Bonuses")).$E$1:$E2000,A2)

Returns an Err:501.

Subject: Re: VLOOKUP vs Macros


I sent that a little too soon.

The title refers to the fact that I was looking into another
solution.
the sales sheet for each day is broken down with the following
information:

Date, EmpID



Currently, what I am doing is separating them by date.
  However, I
was
thinking a much less cluttered solution would involve pulling
the
date
from the bonus calculation field and then doing either a VLOOKUP
with a
count or Macro.  Where would I start looking if I wanted to do
either
one of those solutions?
Back to searching for the answer.
