The only way I figured out to correct the first INDIRECT() problem was to put SUM() on the front (probably needed it anyway).  I can't figure out why 1) that would affect INDRECT() and 2) why it was problematic in the first place.

 | You'll see for [NAME] it is counting the amounts worked by each employee but not so further on.  On evaluation of the formula, you can see that INDIRECT() stops at Q1. This is not the case on the individual days.  Look at 27-Jan-11.  On evaluation you can see that it counts all the sheets. Any assistance or explanation would be helpful.
