I have an unsorted range that needs to lookup a value in a number of other
ranges. However i need the formula to know which range to lookup by looking at a certian cell. i.e. First range is called vehicles, and the other ranges are claeed broke, cvcom, cvcor, deals, diplo. etc.The lookup ranges are dependent on looking at a cell that shows the sale type. e.g. I have tried the following formula but it does not look at the correct range for the value and returns an error. =vlookup(match,a5,vehicles,0(g1,2) where a5 contains the lookup value and g1 contains the sale type that determines the lookup range to use. if I substitute the g1 with an actual name of the lookup range e.g. cvcom or deals, it returns a correct value. Is it possible for the formula to use the correct lookup range by looking at cell g1 instead? Thanks in advance of any help. Regards John |
