Default Update reference in multiple formulas

Hi,
Ive set up a few tables to with formulas to extract data from a large
spread sheet which is produced every month. Im using Vlookup but every
month the table_array part of the formula will need to be changed. Is
there a way to update the table_array part for all the formulas all at once?
Many thanks
Luke

Hi

You could use a named range to stand for the table_array. It could as well
be dynamic if you want.

Hi Luke,

Define a name for the range (InsertNameDefine) and use that in your formulas. You'll only have to update the definition.

try with Indirect formula & column formula
e.q. in your destinational sheet u can use the formula :
=INDIRECT("[book.name]"&COLUMN()&"!A1")
then drag it toward the right
