Default Referencing a filename in a formula

I have a file containing a list of names in column A and a lookup to
individual data files in column B

John Smith =Vlookup(A1,F:\Data\[John Smith]Sheet1!$A$1:$D$50,3,false)
Jane Doe =Vlookup(A1,F:\Data\[Jane Doe]Sheet1!$A$1:$D$50,3,false)

The players sometimes change, so the reference to the file changes. I would
like to be able to pull the filename reference in the formula from the name
in column A. So if I change John Smith to Ted Nugent, the formula
automatically references Ted Nugent's file.

Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks in advance for your help!
