=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B6,'09.12.11'!$B$3:$D$17,3,0)),0,(VLOOKUP($B6,'09.12.11'!$B$3:$D$17,3,0)))
Hi there,
Please help if you can! And accept my apologies if this has already been posted but am pretty new on this forum.
I have a file wirth one main tab and other data tabs that I add daily.
On my main tab, all I do is copying the formula of the last column and I need to change the tab name in the formula, '09.12.11' by '12.12.11' for example.
Precision, all my tabs are in the same file next to each other!!
But if I change the tab name, manually or using the find&replace, Excel start to get crazy and wants to open other files!
I don't understand what the problem is, why make it complicated when it is simple?
Is there an option I need to change if my Excel?
Many thanks!
Mayya
Try putting the date that corresponds to the tab you want in a separate cell, say A1.
then change formula to:
Then all you need to do is update the date cell, A1 to have the formula look at corresponding tab.=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B6,INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(A1,"dd.mm.yy")&"'!$B$3:$D$17"),3,0)),0,(VLOOKUP($B6,INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(A1,"dd.mm.yy")&"'!$B$3:$D$17"),3,0)))
BTW, if you have Excel 2007, you can shorten it to
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B6,INDIRECT("'"&TEXT(A1,"dd.mm.yy")&"'!$B$3:$D$17"),3,0),0)
