    Looking Up A Value In A Name Range

    Problem:

    First3 and Last3 are the names defining ranges A2:A4 and A5:A7 accordingly.
    How could we create a formula that will look up each of the values listed in column B in the Name range?

    Solution:

    Using the INDIRECT function, in the following VLOOKUP formula:
    =VLOOKUP(B2,INDIRECT(C2),1,FALSE)

    Shoddy editing in mass mailing?

    An Exceltip.com email (spam?) directs on to a page
    http://www.exceltip.com/st/Looking_U...Range/878.html
    Which shows a wrong formula
    =VLOOKUP(B2,INDIRECT(C2),1,FALSE),1,FALSE)
    compared to the formula in this topic
    =VLOOKUP(B2,INDIRECT(C2),1,FALSE)
    Also, it shows column A but doesn't show what's in columns B and C.
