Can you only use this as a function if you have downloaded something??

I don't see any problems with that, if you would have asked that is what I
would have suggested..
I always use dummy sheets when doing things like this (I even put one at the
start as well)

=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED(Start:Stop!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)

The zero at the end tells it to look for an exact match while omitting it or
using 1 (or TRUE for 1 and FALSE for 0)
will look for the next largest value that is less than the lookup value,
also the array must be sorted in ascending order
so the first sheet must have the lowest value etc. By using 0 or FALSE it
can be sorted in any order
Good luck

I tried this and discovered a few problems that were self inflicted. I
rectified them as follows:
My VLOOKUP formula did not contain the ,0) at the end. I am not familiar
with that!

I believe the problem with the file structure arose where there was no
worksheet M305. This made it create a link to look in the currect
directory
for a file that did not exist. To fix this where an M305 sheet is not
needed,
I intend to create a hidden sheet named "stop" as the last sheet and refer
to
it at the end within my formula.
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:Stop'!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)
If you see any danger in theis approach, please let me know!
Your help is so very much appreciated, Peo. Thank you very much!

This works for me

=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)

or are you using this from another workbook

=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('[test.xls]M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2,0)

replace test.xls with the name of the workbook

The other workbook needs to be open or you'll get a REF error when you
try
to calculate it

I am assuming here that the sheets are named M010:M305

Good morning, Peo.
I am having difficulty.
Following your lead, I tried:
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2)

It immediately changes to
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2)


Upon copying down my list of search criteria, I get the following:
=VLOOKUP(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) = 208,000
=VLOOKUP(D7,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =208,000
=VLOOKUP(D8,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =5,124
=VLOOKUP(D9,THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),2) =5,124
There are no worksheets is this particular workbook that the reference
can
search, so it is returning the previous result.

I tried:


=INDEX(THREED('M010:M305'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,TH REED('M010:M305'!$J$19)0),
2)

It immediately changes to:


=INDEX(THREED('M010:[M305]M305'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,THREED('M010:[M305]M30
5'!$J$19)0),2)

but, happily, it does give me the correct results. However, upon
saving
and
closing, the cells contain:


=INDEX(THREED('G:\TAX\2004\ZZZZ\M010:[M399]M399'!$J$19:$K$19),MATCH(D6,THREE
D('G:\TAX\2004\ZZZZ\M010:[M399]M399'!$J$19),0),2)

This is not a valid reference to the worksheet, but only to the
directory
containing that worksheet.

I do appreciate your help with this, Peo!

There is no built in lookuop that will work over multiple sheets, I
would
recommend using Laurent Longre's excellent Morefunc that can be
downloaded

In your case it would be

=VLOOKUP(Lookup_value,THREED( etc

Anyone? I appreciate your help.
