vlookup help plz
 

Assuming the Book id is in j4, the workbook name is Tables, the lookup tables
range name is 'description' (change these to whatever you want), try the
following...

=VLOOKUP(j4,Tables!description,2,False)

vlookup help plz
 

You've done it all

=VLOOKUP(B5,description,2,FALSE)

which assumes that column B is the bookid
