Default Refer to a named range indirectly

I'm looking to refer to a named range in a VLOOKUP formula that gets its
value from another cell. In other words, the cell contains a text value that
matches a named range in the workbook and I would like to capture that named
range in a VLOOKUP formula by reference to the cell that contains the named
range value. Hope that is clear enough...

Hi,

Nestle the named range in the indirect() function I.e.
=vlookup(look_value,indirect(name),col_index,0)
