Columns as variable in Vlookup
 

How do I translate the Long returned by loc_1 and lcol into something the vlookup formula will accept? On my test sheet they are 4 & 5 with current data.

Thanks,
Howard

Option Explicit

Sub Vx_x()

Dim lcol As Long
Dim lcol_1 As Long

lcol_1 = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column - 1
lcol = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

MsgBox lcol_1 & " " & lcol

Range("G12").Formula = "=vlookup(F12,lcol_1:lcol,2,0)"

End Sub

Woops, a typo.

<How do I translate the Long returned by loc_1 and lcol

Should be... lcol_1 and lcol.

try:
Sub Vx_x()

Dim lcol As Long
Dim lcol_1 As Long
Dim LRow As Long

With ActiveSheet
lcol_1 = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column - 1
lcol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
LRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

.Range("G12").Formula = "=vlookup(F12," & _
Range(Cells(1, lcol_1), Cells(LRow, lcol)).Address & ",2,0)"
End With
End Sub

Assign a cell a range name and place the column number in that cell,
and make the vlookup statement refer to that rangename to gather the
column number. Then, you can use custom dropdown lists to create dynamic
vlookups.

I think I see where you are going with this. I'll toil with it. Hard to beat Claus' solution though.

Thanks, CellShocked.
