Using words in Formulas
I need to use VLookup with a word in the middle linked from another cell. IE: VLOOKUP(A5,(A word from Cell E17),2,FALSE) E17 varies from the results of 2 other cells. But its a word. E17 is =C4&""&C5. In this case it is "FirstStats." So it would be: VLOOKUP(A5,FirstStats,2,FALSE) Anybody know how to link that? -- Lanza52 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lanza52's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36316 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=573485 |

Using words in Formulas
Since it wouldn't be possible to VLOOKUP a word in another word and return
the value from the second column of that word as your formula indicates: VLOOKUP(A5,(A word from Cell E17),2,FALSE) So, I'm guessing that the "word from Cell E17" indicates a named range. If that's true, try this: VLOOKUP(A5,INDIRECT(E17),2,FALSE) The INDIRECT function will make Excel treat the value of E17 as if it references a range. Am I on the right track here? Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Lanza52" wrote: I need to use VLookup with a word in the middle linked from another cell.
