Hlookup
 

I am trying to use an HLOOKUP on a summary spreadsheets with various
spreadsheets behind it. Each of the individual spreadsheets behind the
summary would have a name as follows:

01-06-06
01-13-06
01-20-06

In column a of the summary spreadsheet I was planning to have the name
of a spreadsheet behind it similar to the above.

I then wanted to do an hlookup as follows:

HLOOKUP(B$4,'01-06-06'!$D$10:$P$111,102,FALSE)

Where B$4 would have the column header in the table array. Where I
have the row_index_number referecing the worksheet name (i.e.
'01-06-06') I wanted to write a formula to select what was in column a.
I tried to use a concatenate formula, but I can't seem to get it to
work.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

Hlookup
 

Hi!

If I understand, try this:

A4 = 01-06-06

=HLOOKUP(B$4,INDIRECT("'"&A4&"'!D10:P111"),102,FAL SE)

Thanks so much! I missed the INDIRECT part!
