Array in formula Vlookup changes when data list is added to
good point 2 keystrokes duly saved
"T. Valko" wrote: =VLOOKUP(F1,INDIRECT("$A$1:$E$40"),5,FALSE) You can save a few keystrokes by eliminating the $ signs. =VLOOKUP(F1,INDIRECT("A1:E40"),5,FALSE) When the argument to INDIRECT is a straight TEXT string the references will never change if the formula is moved/copied/rows/columns inserted. Also, INDIRECT passes its argument to VLOOKUP as an absolute reference. =VLOOKUP(F1,INDIRECT("A1:E40"),5,FALSE) Evaluates to: =VLOOKUP(F1,$A$1:$E$40,5,FALSE) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Mike H" wrote in message ... Maybe this, =VLOOKUP(F1,INDIRECT("$A$1:$E$40"),5,FALSE) Mike "Wileyb" wrote: How do I keep the array absolute in my formula when data is added to the list that it refers to? "A$1$:E$40$" does not work. When data is moved in the list, ie; when sorted, the array referenced in Vlookup moves with the original data. |
