I am trying to use VLOOKUP from another spreadsheet. Currently it looks like this: =VLOOKUP(C$1,'[Moneyline and Sec spreadsheet.xls]UTX'!$B:$F,5,FALSE) I would like the "UTX" to be a cell reference instead, ie cell A4. I would like to be able to change cell A4 from UTX to IBM and have the lookup look to a tab on my ohter spreadsheet which is the IBM tab. Is this possible?
Thanks
TRY:
=VLOOKUP(C$1,INDIRECT("'[Moneyline and Sec spreadsheet.xls]"&A4&"'!$B:$F"),5,FALSE)
Note: This only works if all workbooks are open.
If the lookup book is closed, then you need to install the free Morefunc.xll addin from http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ and adjust formula to:
=VLOOKUP(C$1,INDIRECT.EXT("'[Moneyline and Sec spreadsheet.xls]"&A4&"'!$B:$F"),5,FALSE)

Thank you so much. I tried to add-in and it would not work. I am guessing because I have the other spreadsheet on a shared drive so it can't locate the spreadhseet.
I think it should work...you just have to define the entire path in the formula.

would the parens, quotes, et. be in this order? I keep getting ?NAME Error.
=VLOOKUP(C$1,INDIRECT.ext("'S:\RSN\Trading\[Moneyline and Sec spreadsheet.xls]" & $A17 & "'!$b:$F"),5,FALSE)
Actually sorry, #NAME?. Tried to do it from memory since I am so used to seeing it on various other spreadsheets. Guess the memory is the first to go.
Looks ok... make sure you downloaded the addin and have it installed. The Morefunc addin should appear and be checked in the Tools|Addins menu.

That could be the problem. Don't see it right now. Had to go through our IT dept. to get it loaded to computer. I will try that again. Thanks
