I am trying to create a vLookup formula using a variable for the named range within another workbook. I have already researched numerous websites including this one and nothing I have tried works. I am still a VBA novice, so I apologize in advance if this turns out to be something very simple.
I have a workbook (dim wb) which contains the macro and has all of the data used to populate a template workbook. The template file is the active workbook in this part of the macro and also has the cell in which I am putting the vLookup formula. The lookup range is another cell in the template file and the table array is a named range ("rngBilling") within the macro workbook on tab "Billing" (dim ws). When I run the macro I get error msg 1004 "application-defined or object-defined error" on the last line of the code. When I step into the code and hover the cursor over the variables in the table array part of the formula, all three show the correct value (filename: Billing Detail.xlsm, sheet name: Billing, and cell range: Billing A6:M53).
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Billing")
Dim rngBilling As range
Set rngBilling = ws.range("rngBilling")
range("E48").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(R[-45]C[-2]," & wb.Name & ws.Name & rngBilling.Name & ",7)"
Not sure if the problem is the ws.name or the rngBilling.name or both; I have used the wb and ws in other parts of the macro without trouble, but this is the only place so far where I've tried to use the rngBilling.
When I use this code in place of the last line it works perfectly:
'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ '"=VLOOKUP(R[-45]C[-2],'[" & wb.Name & "]Billing'!R7C1:R47C13,7)"
But the table array is not dynamic and will not capture changes in the named range "rngBilling" which happen often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
