![]() Not sure if that's possible, but here is the situation I have. Say I use a formula on a summary tab that pulls numbers from data1, data2, data3, etc. tabs. In this particular case, I am using VLOOKUP. So, my formulas will look like this: Column B---------------------------------Column C =VLOOKUP(A1,DATA1!A:B,2,0)---------=VLOOKUP(A1,DATA2!A:B,2,0) ...... many rows go here with VLOOKUP I have to manually adjust references to DATA tabs for each additional column I add, so I will go and change data1, data2, etc. in VLOOKUP each time a new column is added. Is there a way to enter DATA1, DATA2, etc. above columns and then just reference them into the VLOOKUP function. Like this: Column B-----------------------------------Column C DATA1 (-cell B1-)----------------------------DATA2 (-cell C1-) =VLOOKUP(A1,Ref_to_B1!A:B,2,0)------=VLOOKUP(A1,Ref_To_C1!A:B,2,0) ...... many rows go here with VLOOKUP I tried using something like _"&B1&"!A:B"_ for the second argument in VLOOKUP, but it does not seem to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- proper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ proper's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33166 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=529897 |
