Search worksheet names?
Is there a way to search through a workbook by first finding a certain
worksheet, then running a vlookup in that worksheet? EG: Sheets1~Sheet5 I want to find sheet2, and in sheet2, run vlookup. |

You can do this programmatically. Code similar to the following will help
you find the sheet you are looking for: For each sht in thisworkbook.sheets if sht.name = strCriteria then 'Can return sheet name to a function here. end if next -- http://HelpExcel.com "J@Y" wrote: Is there a way to search through a workbook by first finding a certain worksheet, then running a vlookup in that worksheet?

What exactly do you mean by "finding" a certain sheet, and by "running" a

I'm not very familiar with codes. Can you elaborate abit on what exactly is
needed? Will this code be executed as a macro or can I embed it in the cells? "galimi" wrote: You can do this programmatically.

Search worksheet names?
Well here is the equation I use right now to vlookup in multiple sheets in a
workbook: =VLOOKUP(A2,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX({"Sheet1";"Sheet2"; "Sheet3";"Sheet4";"Sheet5";"Sheet6";"Sheet7";"Shee t8"},MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&{"Sheet1";"Sheet2";"Sheet3"; "Sheet4";"Sheet5";"Sheet6";"Sheet7";"Sheet8"}&"'!A 2:A200"),A2)0),0))&"'!A2:C200"),2,0) But that runs into problems when the sheets contain the same words being looked up. So I'm thinking if there is a way to search for a Sheet name, and then in that Sheet, perform a vlookup.
