    Is there a way to select a named cell range by concatenating text?

    Hi,

    I have a cell range, that I have explicitly named Round1.

    I am using vlookup to select certain data from this range. Currently the formula looks like this:

    =VLOOKUP($A$1,Round1,2,FALSE)

    Is there a way to select this range without having to manually type in Round1 into the second parameter. For example, if I enter "Round1" into cell C1, would there be a way to make this formula work:

    =VLOOKUP($A$1,C1,2,FALSE)

    I know the above formula wouldn't, but is there some other way that i could link the second parameter to some cell and produce the range I am looking for?

    Thanks

    Try:

    =VLOOKUP($A$1,INDIRECT(C1),2,FALSE)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
