Hi there,
I have a workbook that references another workbook whose values change quite often.

Both are online on our work sharepoint -- however i have noticed that Xlookup does not work with them. (well it does when i open the source workbook in the desktop app, but then stops working when I try refresh it online)
Basically this forces me to have to open the source file in the desktop App to refresh values in the "report" file-- which is a PITA.
I have done some research and dont seem to be the first to have come across this issue but some of the posts i read were from 2017-2021 so maybe there is something new that im missing.
Appreciate any help.. maybe the 2 workbooks need to be in the same folder in sharepoint or something? (vlookups work across the 2 files but they are meh!)

Thanks,
Marty.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
You should be able to do this, on the condition that you use the a sharepoint path (URL) rather than a file path. You may need to create a link to the data first, rather than trying to calculate from a closed workbook. Pop it on a hidden sheet as a direct cell link, then perform your calculation on that.
