range that is available everywhere
I have a list that has the monthly revenue for 300 companies.
what i have done is put these in my personal.xls file. and setup a range name for them. so if i ever need to pull these numbers from any spreadsheet i can get them by typing =vlookup(a2,personal.xls!uptofeb,12,false) this gets me the revenue for whichever id is in a2 and pulls data from column 12 in personal.xls .. is there anyway i can get it so that i only have to put the range name in the target array. so i only have to put.. =vlookup(a1,uptofeb,12,false) and it pulls the data from personal.xls by it self? |

Assuming I'm reading this correctly, you could probably make a new
named range that references the old one. UptoFeb2 =personal.xls!uptofeb then use =Vlookup(a1,uptofeb2,12,false) On Mar 29, 4:27 pm, "mithu" wrote: I have a list that has the monthly revenue for 300 companies. what i have done is put these in my personal.xls file. and setup a range name for them. so if i ever need to pull these numbers from any spreadsheet i can get them by typing =vlookup(a2,personal.xls!uptofeb,12,false) this gets me the revenue for whichever id is in a2 and pulls data from column 12 in personal.xls .. is there anyway i can get it so that i only have to put the range name in the target array. so i only have to put.. =vlookup(a1,uptofeb,12,false) and it pulls the data from personal.xls by it self? |
