Hi Dave,
I also have my sport members on file and I need to refernce teh file
using VLOOKUP.
I need to change the month and year value, as in,
VLOOKUP(A3,'Availability 11.05'!$A$1:$U$120,8,FALSE)
Where 'Availability 11.05' is a workbook in the same file.
I would like to be able to put 11.05 (or the full workbook name) in a
cell and all the formulas use this in their reference. I have over
80 members and chaning each one (even with copy and past) is time
consuming.
If (if) 'Availability 11.05' it's a *worksheet* in the same *workbook* or
file in which you have the VLOOKUP, you can use the INDIRECT function:
=VLOOKUP(A3,INDIRECT("'Availability "&Z1&"'!$A$1:$U$120"),8,FALSE)
Where Z1 is the cell in which you have 11.05

Hope I helped you.
