The amount of the Income & Expense Tracker Template has a data validation referring to INDIRECT(“Budget[Budget Lists]”). May I know what the purpose of that is? Where is the Budget[Budget Lists]? Is it also in the template file?
Hello Julian,
Thank you for your question! The formula INDIRECT(“Budget[Budget Lists]”) is used in data validation to create a dropdown list based on the entries in the “Budget Lists” column of the “Budget” table.
This allows you to easily select from predefined budget categories when entering income or expenses.
The Budget[Budget Lists] refers to a structured reference to a table named “Budget” and its column “Budget Lists” within the same Excel template file.

Hi Shamima,
Sorry for the late reply, I have checked the name manager several times. Only one table named Table1 exists in the file. No budget was found, and there is no hidden spreadsheet.
Best regards,
Julian
Hello Julian,
Thank you for sharing the details! The data validation formula =INDIRECT(“Budget[Budget Lists]”) is not required for the “Amounts” column. The “Amounts” field is meant for entering numbers (income or expense amounts), not selecting from a dropdown list.
This looks like it may have been applied by mistake or carried over from another column. You can safely remove this data validation from the “Amounts” column. Instead, you might want to use data validation to restrict entries to numbers only, or just leave it open for free numeric entry.

Hi Shamima,
You are right. I have removed that data validation from the “Amounts” column to accept any values entered.
Best regards,
Julian
Hello Julian,
Glad to hear that you removed the data validation. Hopefully the template will work properly now.
