variable vlookup
=vlookup(A1,Indirect("'[Text(Today(),"mmm_")&B1&".xls]Sheet1'!A1:B200"),2,Fa
lse) Where B1 contains the company name. [Jan_ABCCORP.xls]Sheet1!A1:B200 might be an example reference. Jan_ABCCORP.xls must be open for this to work. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy shaharul wrote in message ... can somebody help me with creating a variable lookup formula in VBA with the table array referring to various workbooks depending on the months and company to be extracted from. i have try to work it out but all sort of errors come out. |

variable vlookup
as a reference, this approach works fine:
workbook_Name = "Ufrm_modeless_test.xls" worksheet_Name = "Sheet1" range_Area = "A1:B20" ? workbooks(workbook_name).Worksheets(worksheet_name ).Range(range_Area).Addres s $A$1:$B$20 ? workbooks(workbook_name).Worksheets(worksheet_name ).Range(range_Area).Addres s(external:=True) [Ufrm_modeless_test.xls]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$20 If you put value on the end, this returns an array (if range_area is multi cell). However, I believe if there is a problem with the assignment to a variable, that would be type mismatch error. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "shaharul" wrote in message ... putting ".Value" seems a good idea but i got a message for 'run-time error '1004''. anybody care to explain to me what is that error and how to solve it in simple english. thank you very much. |
