Default Dynamic Sheet Name in Vlookup

I have a table that is doing some vlookups from another workbook. The
problem i have is that for each column the worksheet name is named
differently. So, basically I have data a table like the one below:

HU SS PL .....
1
2
3
4


Under the HU column, the vlookup needs to pull from the HUTP
worksheet. Under the SS column, it needs to pull from the SSTP
worksheet, etc.

=VLOOKUP($A3,'S:\mfg\CFM\Reports\TOC_Reports\[Targets.xls]HUTP'!$H
$8:$IV$187,12,FALSE)

Any ideas on how to do this without having to change the sheet in
every column and instead pull it from the column header? IE, I want a
function that looks something like this (but this obviously doesn't
work):

=VLOOKUP($A2,'S:\mfg\CFM\Reports\TOC_Reports\[Targets.xls](A$1 &
"TP")'!$H$8:$IV$187,2,FALSE)

Thanks in advance.
