Is it possible to refrence an entire worksheet from another workbook
(which is unopened) so that I can use its cells for a Vlookup?

Thanks

Graham

One way:

=VLOOKUP(A1,[Workbook2]Sheet1!$A:$IV,123,FALSE)

It's easiest to create the link with the workbook open, as shown above.
Otherwise, include the path in your reference.

It's easier if you open the other workbook first and use the mouse to select

=VLOOKUP(D1,[myfile.xls]Sheet1!$1:$65536,3,0)

then excel will add the necessary path when you close the workbook

=VLOOKUP(D1,'C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My
Documents\[myfile.xls]Sheet1'!$1:$65536,3,0)

otherwise you have to build the path yourself
