    Using indirect within a Vlookup

    Hi,

    Can Vlookup and Indirect be used within the same formula?

    Currently I have the formula:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,'111'!G:L,6,FALSE),0)

    But ideally I would like it to look in cell C2 to obtain this part '111'. In Cell C2 It contains "111 Inverurie NEW" so usually to obtain the 111 I use the formula: Value(Left(C2,3)).

    Can anyone help please?

    Try

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,INDIRECT(LEFT($C$2,3)&"!G:L"),6,FALSE),0)
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!
