    Creating a dynamic VLOOKUP using INDIRECT based on the contents of a cell + additional txt

    Hi guys and girls,

    I'm in the process of updating a bunch of excel spread sheets for my company and have hit a brick wall building a dynamic vlookup that uses indirect to take the contents of a cell and add to it additional text to dynamically navigate to other sheets within the same workbook.

    So Currently my formula in cell H97 looks like this:
     =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A96,'COSTCO RAW DATA'!$A:$GC,COLUMN(),0),0)
    Everything works well and dandy, but what I am after is changing the 'COSTCO RAW DATA' to an INDIRECT using cell A1 which contains "COSTCO" and adding the rest to the formula, so it will look something like this as a wild guess:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A96,INDIRECT("'"&$A$1&"'"&"RAW DATA"&"'!$A:$GC"),COLUMN(),0),0)
    ^ Obviously this is wrong and throws a #REF once i remove the IFERROR Clause - Please let me know where and what i'm doing wrong as i'll be playing with dynamic lookups for a couple of weeks. Thanks in advance!
