Default VLOOKUP

Hi TWIMC,

Usually when referencing into a different workbook, Excel constructs the
formula like so:

=VLOOKUP(B10;'C:\folder path\My
Documents\[workbookname.xls]worksheetname'!$G$10:$H$20;2;FALSE)

My question is, is there a way to have a VLOOKUP formula reference the table
array parameter in the following manner?

=VLOOKUP(B10;A2!$G$10:$H$20;2;FALSE)

where A2 = 'C:\folder path\My Documents\[workbookname.xls]worksheetname'

This would allow the end user to specify which workbook/worksheet the
VLOOKUP function is to reference.


TIA
KM
