indirect lookup
 

i have vlookup(a1,indirect(b1),2,0
the value in b1 however is a range in another open workbook
[data.xls]setup!a1:b1000

i cant seem to get it to work, any ideas?

thanks in advance

Your formula worked ok for me.

I suspect a typo error or maybe you're getting an #n/a because there is no
match.

You may want to provide more details.
