    Question Multiple Lookup Sheets

    Good Day

    I have an excel sheet witk Sheet "MAIN". On this sheet Range A1 I put in an "Item Code". I have Over 55000 Item Codes.

The First 2 Letters in my Item Code tells me where to go find the rest of the data about that specific Item.

    My problem is that I don't want to go create a vlookup with 30 arguments. Is there another way that I can refer to the First 2 letters of the Itemcode? ie

    You would not only need to pass the information of the sheetname but of the range as well so this should be adjusted if needed.

    Thanks for the reply, if I do a normal VLOOKUP it looks like this:

    Hi, Sniper,

    without showing your workbook only you may anwer this question. If you have given names to the used ranges in the sheets you may only pass the name of the sheet/range, if it´s not the case you should pass the ranges where to search as well.

    Ciao,
