Name Range Help
I have a situtation where I want to have a formula display in a cell
the name of a "named range" and use this in a lookup formula. If in cell A1 I have a formula that returns the name of a range called DP_1 how can I reference this in the formula. This does not work: =vlookup(A6,A1,4,false) (Cell A1 dispalys the named range DP_1) It works correctly if I use: =vlookup(A6,DP_1,4,false) I have 12 named ranges where writing an if statement gets too complex in a single cell. Hopefully someone will have an idea of how to reference a cell to mke this simpler. |
