Try it like this:

=IF(F30="","",INDIRECT(VLOOKUP('Line Items'!B15,PoolPerCentLoc,3,0)))

Hello,

I have cell locations in a Named Range table and am using VLookup to pulli
a
specific cell location into another worksheet's formula. Here is my
formula:

=IF(ISBLANK(F30), "" , "=" & (VLOOKUP('Line
Items'!B15,PoolPerCentLoc,3,FALSE)))

With this I get the value I want, =E$7 but as a string. It doesn't pull
in
the value of cell E7. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
