vlookup
I have a value (M01) in my current worksheet in F3. I want to find that value
in another workbook, match on it and return the value in column 7 of that worksheet. I have multiple sheets in the other workbook and I am currently looking at each one individually. The formula I am using is: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($F3,'[PAR.xls]E-M 10741003'!$B$17:$P$300,7,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP($F3,'[PAR.xls]E-M 10741003'!$B$17:$P$300,7,FALSE)) The formula above just looks at workbook €śPAR.xls€ť and worksheet €śE-M 10741003€ť within that workbook. This works just fine one sheet at a time, but when the job number changes, I have to change the worksheet name in my formula. Is there a way I can look at all of the sheets, not just one at a time or pull a variable (10741003) into the formula from another cell (B3) in my current worksheet? -- TAK |
vlookup
If you wanted to lookup 3 sheets, then the general approach would be:
=IF(ISNA(vlookup_1),IF(ISNA(vlookup_2),IF(ISNA(vlo okup_3),"not present",vlookup_3),vlookup_2),vlookup_1) where vlookup_1 in your case might be: VLOOKUP($F3,'[PAR.xls]E-M 10741003'!$B$17:$P$300,7,FALSE) So, you can see that the formula will be quite unwieldly. To access a sheet name from a cell, you will have to use the INDIRECT function, but this will only work with open workbooks. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, but unfortunately I have over 15 sheets in the other
workbook.

If you were to put the sheet name:
E-M 10741003 in cell A1, for example, then your formula would be: =VLOOKUP($F3,INDIRECT("'[PAR.xls]"&$A$1&"'!$B$17:$P$300"),7,FALSE) Change the sheet name in A1 to lookup a different sheet with the same formula. NOTE - the file PAR.xls must be open for INDIRECT to work. Hope this helps. Pete On May 14, 7:10*pm, TAK wrote: Thanks for the response, but unfortunately I have over 15 sheets in the other workbook.

You're welcome, TAK - thanks for the feedback.
Incidentally, in order to avoid mis-typing the sheet name in A1, you can set this up as a drop-down, so you can just choose from a (pre- defined) list.

Pet,
I saw this post and trying to do something similar. I want to match B2 on one worksheet, to 4 other worksheets. I can do it for one which I used =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,LM_RETENTION_CLAIMS!A$2:A$6 500, 1, FALSE)), "not found", "found") That works, but I need it to work on three other worksheets as well. Is there a way i can add the other to that formula so it searches for the info on all of the worksheets?

One way:
=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(Sheet1!A2:A6500,B2),COUNTIF(Sheet2 !A2:A6500,B2),COUNTIF(Sheet3!A2:A6500,B2),COUNTIF( Sheet4!A2:A6500,B2)),"Found","Not Found") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "TB" wrote in message ...

As you are not bringing back any data you can use the MATCH function,
like this: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,LM_RETENTION_CLAIMS!A$2:A $6500,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet2!A$2:A $6500,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet3!A$2:A $6500,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet4!A$2:A$6500,0))," not found","found_4"),"found_3"),"found_2"),found_1") This is all one formula. I've assumed the same lookup range in all sheets, and used Sheet2, Sheet3 etc for the other sheet names - adjust to suit your set up. I thought you might like to know which sheet the value was found in, so I numbered the return, but you can make this what you want. The following shows the formula more logically: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,LM_RETENTION_CLAIMS!A$2:A$6500,0 )), IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet2!A$2:A$6500,0)), IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet3!A$2:A$6500,0)), IF(ISNA(MATCH(B2,Sheet4!A$2:A$6500,0)), "not found", "found_4"), "found_3"), "found_2"), found_1") You can, of course, use VLOOKUP instead of MATCH if you wish. Hope this helps.
