Custom function for vlookup
I have a master file which I regularly use to get data by way of vlookup.
Each time I use vlookup, i have to open the master file and type the formula. Is there a short way to get the data without typing full vlookup formula? I thought one option as custom function. Is there any other option? I am doing it may be 80-90times a day, so a shortcut will save lots of time. Pl guide. Regards, Madiya |

If the formlula is in the master file and is looking up in a slave file then wouldn't the master file be open??? You may send your file with a slave to dguillett1 @gmail.com if desired. |

You can access it from the VB editor. Your function should access your master workbook.. For that you will have to store that in a particular location. Next time you open some file then this custom function will be available to you. |
