Are multiple Vlookup's possible?
Hi all, i am using this =VLOOKUP(F1,TiedEquip,4,FALSE) on my worksheet and it is located in D1, what i would like to do is a VLookup like this.....=VLookup(F1,C1 ,4,FALSE), where C1 on the same sheet would be the name of the named range to look at, this way i can have a drop down list of names which would change the contents of D1 based on the value in F1 because as i change the name in C1 it would look to a different named range! Don't know whether i was clear explaining that.....but is it possible?

Use the INDIRECT function
=VLookup(F1,INDIRECT(C1) ,4,FALSE) This will cause VLOOKUP to scan the table whose name or address is in C1. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Simon Lloyd" wrote in message ...
