Dear all,

In sheet2 a cell A1 has the formula = sheet1!A1,

I would like to replace sheet1 by VLOOKUP(A2,sheet3!A1:B10,2,FALSE) so
the formula should be instead of sheet1!A1 - (VLOOKUP(A2,sheet3!
A1:B10,2,FALSE))!A1 but xl does not allow this?

thank you

Try:

=Indirect("'"&VLOOKUP(A2,sheet3!A1:B10,2,FALSE) &"'!A1")

Hi,

formula to work has to be

=VLOOKUP(A2,sheet3!A1:B10,2,FALSE)

why are you entering A1 at the end

if doesn't resolve your problem post some example of sheet1 2 and 3 and the
results you'd like to get

=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(A2,sheet3!A1:B10,2,FALSE)&"!A1")
