Default vlookup, naming range in other document with specific sheet

Assume that sheetname in Catering Destinations-Directions.xls is: Sheet1

First, open the source file, ie open: Catering Destinations-Directions.xls
Check that Sheet1 really exists in there and is named exactly as presumed
(except for case). Watch out for any extraneous white spaces in the sheetname.

Then in your other workbook,
in the sheet containing the vlookup formula
it would be this expression:
=VLOOKUP($J$4,'[Catering
Destinations-Directions.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$O$5134,11,FALSE)

Do high-five this response by clicking the YES button below
