    Lookup indirect formula error

    Hi good morning.

    Im working on a template, trying to use the vlookup indirect formula but I keep getting erro messages
    I need to match an Escrow account with a Vendor on a summary table.
    I have the list of accounts on another tab set up.
    Attached is the file if someone could help.

    On Sheet1 Column L highlighted in yellow I need to show the escrow account from sheet 6 based on names either on Column B or C Sheet1.


    Can someone help?

    Re: Lookup indirect formula error

    This is the formula you have in L14 of Sheet1:

    =VLOOKUP($B$2,INDIRECT("'Sheet6'!$A$1:$b$25'"),2,FALSE)

    You have an extra apostrophe before the last " symbol, so you need to delete that:

    =VLOOKUP($B$2,INDIRECT("'Sheet6'!$A$1:$b$25"),2,FALSE)

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Lol I spent like 40 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.
    I didn't catch that.

    Thank you.

    Re: Lookup indirect formula error

    Well, it is difficult to see an apostrophe next to a " symbol.

    If that takes care of your original question, please take a moment to select Thread Tools from the menu above and to the right of your first post in this thread, and mark the thread as SOLVED.

    Also, since you are relatively new to the forum, you might like to know that you can directly thank those who have helped you by clicking on the small "star" icon located in the lower left corner of a post that you have found to be helpful (not just in this thread - for any post that has helped you). This also adds to the reputation of the poster (the small green bars in the poster's profile).

    Pete
