Passing tables as parameters for Lookup

[insomniac53]

I have a series of tables on a worksheet, indentical in layout, and I need a VBA function to use a LOOKUP function for any of the tables sent to it. Simplified, the tables look like this:

<tbody>
[TD="class: xl65"]Table1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"][/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"][/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"]Table2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl65"][/TD]
[TD="class: xl65, width: 38"][/TD]

[TD="class: xl72"]id[/TD]
[TD="class: xl73"]col1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl74"]col2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl72"]id[/TD]
[TD="class: xl73"]col1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl74"]col2[/TD]

[TD="class: xl66"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"]a[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]d[/TD]
[TD="class: xl66"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"]u[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]x[/TD]

[TD="class: xl66"]2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"]b[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]e[/TD]
[TD="class: xl66"]2[/TD]
[TD="class: xl67"]v[/TD]
[TD="class: xl68"]y[/TD]

[TD="class: xl69"]3[/TD]
[TD="class: xl70"]c[/TD]
[TD="class: xl71"]f[/TD]
[TD="class: xl69"]3[/TD]
[TD="class: xl70"]w[/TD]
[TD="class: xl71"]z[/TD]

</tbody>

My function needs to look up the number passed to the function in the id column of the given table and return data from col1 or col2 in the appropriate table. This is where I am so far:

Function TestLookup(i As Integer, s As String, j as integer)
    'i is the data in column 1, s is the table name, j needs to be 1 or 2 or whichever column I want returned.
    Dim w1 As Worksheet: 'then I set the worksheet name
    TestLookup = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(i, w1.ListObjects(s).... ' and I'm stuck!!
End Function

So, if the function was sent 3, "Table2", 2 - it would return "w"
Hope that makes sense and someone can help. Thank you.

Hi, possibly.

Function TestLookup(i As Integer, s As String, j As Integer)
  Application.Volatile
  TestLookup = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(i, Range(s & "[#All]"), j, 0)
End Function

Or using native functions:

=VLOOKUP(3,INDIRECT("Table2" & "[#All]"),2,0)

Brilliant! I have no idea at the moment how this works, but the most important thing is that it works.
Thank you!
