LOOKUP filename construction
This is one of those question where the answer is so obvious I cannot see it!!
The following is part of a larger macro:- filedate=Range("F115".Value 'value is date in format dd/mm/yyyy fileyear=Right(filedate,4) lastyear=(fileyear-1) lastyearfile="Planner-" & lastyear & ".xls" Sheet ("Plan 1").Sheet Range("E3").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1="LOOKUP(R[-1]C,'[lastyearfile]Plan 1'!R2C5:R3C20 It is the last line that contains an error as the 'lastyearfile' value is not being identified. Debug shows it is carried through to this point. I know it is to do with brackets and quotation marks - but my mind just cannot see it Any help appreciated |
