vlookup template -> table_array
 

I'm trying to create a vlookup worksheet template.

I would like to reference the value of cell A1 as the 2nd argument
(table_array) in the function.

Cell A1 would contain the full path, worksheet name, and sheet name of
the worksheet.

For example, cell A1 would be : f:\finance\[October]Revenue!. The
lookup range would be the same in all of the worksheets ($A$1:$B$1)

=VLOOKUP(1,&A1&!$A$1:$B$1,2) does not work.

Thanks in advance.
