Dear geniuses,
I have price sheets coming from several sources with the same format and
products, but containing difference prices.
I am trying to build a dataset (table) from these sources which I could then
link to Access for querying.
Given each price sheet source is a seperate worksheet in a workbook, I have
given each sheet the named range of its pricing rate. For example, RATE_165
represents the pricing sheet which contains the prices for the "165" rate;
RATE_180 represents the pricing sheet which contains the prices for the "180"
rate.
I want to be able to build another sheet called "PricingData" and have it
look something like this:
PricingData:
A B C
1 Price Sheet Product Price
2 RATE_165 Widget $5.98
3 RATE_165 Gadget $10.00
4 RATE_180 Widget $8.45
5 RATE_180 Gadget $14.95
Where the formula in C2 would be something like:
=vlookup(b2,<value of a2 for the table_array>, 5,false)
And would bring back the price from the range "RATE_165" for a "Widget" in
that range.
Is it possible to convert the value in A2 into a reference for the named
range "RATE_165" within the vlookup function?
Thanks in advance! :)

This is also posted as subject VLOOKUP -- DYNAMIC TABLE_ARRAY VALUE.
Apologies for the duplicate postings. Answer either or both if you like. :)

Have a look at the INDIRECT function. Should allow you to use the A2
value as a reference name.

Thanks. I tried indirect but it wasn't working.
I think maybe I hadn't saved the workbook first.
*blush*
Thanks!
