Q: Named range based on cell value?
I want to do a vlookup based on a range that is based on a cell.
So, if cell A1 = "CA" use the CA_REG named range in my formula. If cell A1 = "NV" use the NV_REG named range in my formula. etc. etc. There will be about a dozen values that the cell can have, so I can't use a nested if. Any ideas? |

Named range based on cell value?
Try something like the following:
=VLOOKUP(xyz,INDIRECT(INDEX({"CA_REG","NV_REG","AB _REG"},0,MATCH(A1,{"CA","NV","AB"},0))),2,FALSE) Change the 'xyz' to the value you want to look up with VLOOKUP. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "Mark" wrote in message ...

By the by, using your formula as a template, I think I found a bit of a
slimmer solution: =VLOOKUP("xyz",CHOOSE(MATCH(A2,{"CA","NV"},0),CA_R EG,NV_REG),2,FALSE) So far, it seems to work. And again, thank you so much for your solution. -Mark "Chip Pearson" wrote: Try something like the following: =VLOOKUP(xyz,INDIRECT(INDEX({"CA_REG","NV_REG","AB _REG"},0,MATCH(A1,{"CA","NV","AB"},0))),2,FALSE) Change the 'xyz' to the value you want to look up with VLOOKUP. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "Mark" wrote in message ...
