    Vlookup: choosing a table based on a cell

    I'm trying to do a Vlookup that picks a table name from a cell.

    The formula below works, but i want "FlangeTables" to be the value of B11 of my current sheet. the library wookbook has all my data tables in it and I want to pick the table. The tables all have the same column headers and are aligned horizontally. if i manually type the table name in it works, I just can't get it to look to a cell for the name.

    =VLOOKUP(T,'Library.xlsm'!FlangeTables,MATCH(Rating,'Library.xlsm'!FRating),0)
