    Vlookup, using a cell that contains the table reference

    Hello,

    Thanks for taking your time at looking at this post.

    I have a worksheet that uses a lot of vlookups and I have to update the filenames and locations quite often. I would like to update a single cell rather than updating every single formula.

    However I am getting the #VALUE error when trying this.

    Simplified Example:
    I have: =VLOOKUP(A3,[Table.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4,2,FALSE)
    I would like to place [Table.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$4 into a cell (D1) for example.

    And have my vlookup function as =VLOOKUP(A3,$D$1,2,FALSE)
    This way I only have to update D1 when I want to change the filename instead of a whole lot of functions.

    Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!!

    Adam
