Hi,
I am sure this has been discussed but I am having trouble
understanding what is needed.
I think I need to use a indirect call within vlookup.
Scenario
multiple workbooks with same name except a with a differing date.
ie file 'foo 01.12.03.xls'
worksheet in each file foo called 'auth zoo'
I have a summary workbook with a column with each date: E2 = 01.12.03
also in summary, A1 = 'foo ' and B1 = auth zoo'!$C$11:$I$81 and C1 =
..xls
my lookup value is in A3
what I would like to do, but I am not having too much success is:
vlookup(A3,indirect(A1&E2&C1&B1),7,0)
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain the error of my
ways. Thanks.
Regards,
Joe
