Vlookup Using a Reference as a Table Array
 

I want to use a cells value as my Table Array since the file that I am using
for the lookup varies. For example, I put the Table Array value in column C,
and I want to do a Vlookup in column B. I want something like this in column
B: =VLookup($A2, $C2, 2, False) - where C2 contains a valid table array. How
do I need to reference C2 to make it use the value in C2? Thank you!

Try...

=VLOOKUP($A2,INDIRECT($C2),2,FALSE)
