Can I VLOOKUP in 7 different worksheets in 1 formula?
I want to get a master worksheet to check for a candidate's details across 7
other worksheets. If the VLOOKUP fails to find that person on sheet 1, it tries sheet 2, then sheet 3 and so on. can this be done? is it a question of replacing the FALSE part with the next VLOOKUP formula? Thanks. Keith |

Do your 7 sheet names follow some sort of sequential pattern like Week1,
Week2, Week3? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "keithobro" wrote in message ... I want to get a master worksheet to check for a candidate's details across 7 other worksheets.

Each sheet represents a different interview location with up to 200 names on
each. Why? "T. Valko" wrote: Do your 7 sheet names follow some sort of sequential pattern like Week1, Week2, Week3? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "keithobro" wrote in message ...

Which version of Excel are you using? If Excel 2003 or prior, you are
limited to 7 levels of nesting, in Excel 2007, you have 64 levels of nesting. Tyro "keithobro" wrote in message ... Each sheet represents a different interview location with up to 200 names on each.

Each sheet represents a different interview location
I guess that means the answer to my question is no? Why? The information you provide will determine what kind of suggestions you'll get. Make a list of your sheet names and give this list a defined name: B1:B7 = list of sheet names = defined name WSList A1 = lookup value Try this array formula** : =VLOOKUP(A1,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(WSList,MATCH(TRUE,C OUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&WSList&"'!B1:B7"),A1)0,0))&"' !A:B"),2,0) Assumes the table_array on each sheet is in the range A:B. ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "keithobro" wrote in message ...

Correction: I used the wrong range in the COUNTIF function. Should be:
=VLOOKUP(A1,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(WSList,MATCH(TRUE,C OUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&WSList&"'!A:A"),A1)0,0))&"'!A :B"),2,0) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...

Many thanks Biff:
I think I understand. Will try it out when I get to work today. If i understand correctly, my first task is to list the sheet names, but where should I put this? Keith "T.
