Here's my simple VLOOKUP:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C3,'R:\Patient Results\[050119.xlsx]Bob'!$E$2:$F$569,2),"")
I want to use the same file for multiple people by using a drop down in A1 to get the name of the person, which is the name of a tab in another file, to do the lookup. There's a tab in that other file for every person on the team.
So what I'd like to end up with is a VLOOKUP the works like this would if it were legal code:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C3,'R:\Patient Results\[050119.xlsx]$A$1'!$E$2:$F$569,2),"")
Changing a specific name, Bob, to a cell reference, A1. That would let me replace the name in A1 with any one of a couple dozen other names and get the results I need.
