I have a cell suppose B1 = "APPL"
I have a Table named "APPL_PRICE" which has Date column & Price Column.
I want to VLOOKUP a specific Date( in A1) from the table using the reference of B1
Such as =VLOOKUP($A$1,APPL_PRICE[Date],2,FALSE)
But instead i need to use reference of B1
=VLOOKUP($A$1,(B1&"_PRICE")[Date],2,FALSE) as i have 50 other tables to do the same work. Instead of selecting the table array present indifferent worksheets,I have named them and want to use them
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Excel Formula:
=VLOOKUP($A$1,INDIRECT(B1&"_PRICE"),2,FALSE)

And suppose i had to vlookup from the 3rd row in such table. My vlookup value is not in the 1st column then? Like using APPL_PRICE[Volume] being vlookup in the column of Volume in the table
Using Indirect for this particular instance doesn't work

It doesn't matter what row it's on, vlookup looks down the whole column.

You posted a very general question with a formula that would not work, so I gave you a general solution.
Without accurate information I cannot do any more.
