Surely you just change B$1 to reflect which column you want ...or I am
missing something?

Default VLOOKUP

I tried your formula and it worked OK (in the way I used it). I am not aware
that VLOOKUP has any restriction.

=VLOOKUP(pigs,'Coverage List'!$B$9:$S$5000,18,0)

will retrieve the value from column S

if B$1=18, it will work.

#Value suggests data errors.

I am happy to look at your w/book:

You can get value errors from either calculation with text or if the
list itself has a value error

What's in B1:S1?

Maybe I don't understand but if you a letter in a cell like B1 then you
will get a #REF! error, is that whet you get. I assumed you used the cells
in B1:S1 for indexing the columns you want to retrieve the values from? If
the indexing number is text you will get an error
